Working in Paris at the end of the 1800s, Eugène Delâtre favored scenes taken from contemporary life. In this print, he depicted the crowd at Olympia, a nightclub opened by the creators of the popular Moulin Rouge and featured ballet and music performances. The image highlights the venue as a site of social mixing, as bourgeois gentlemen appear alongside a performer who resembles the popular performer Jane Avril. Delâtre experimented avidly with etching, often adding color or exploring technical variations such as drypoint, as he used here
