The Aura of Noon

Jules Chéret

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a poster with a beige background. The title at the top is in large red letters that read "L' AUREOLE DU MIDI". Underneath the title is a drawing of a blonde woman in a red dress with white polka dots, wearing red socks and shoes, holding an oil lamp. She appears to be floating or dancing in mid-air with a blue cloudy background behind her. Underneath the woman is a red-haired man in a green and yellow outfit holding a box. To the left of the woman are the words "PETROLE DE SURETE" in yellow letters, with "EXTRA-BLANC & SANS ODEUR" underneath in smaller white letters. At the bottom of the poster are the words "En Bidons Plombes de 5 Litres" in blue letters.
