Sur Talons Rouges (On Red Heels) pl. 01 — also known as “His Entrance Was Sensational” — is an exquisite illustration by Gerda Wegener, created for Éric Allatini’s romantic novel of the same name. Set in eighteenth-century France, the novel is a playful homage to the “galante” era, celebrated for its indulgent charm, flirtation, and refinement. Wegener’s series of twelve illustrations breathe life into this opulent world, capturing the exaggerated fashions, grace, and wit of the period. In this piece, her delicate linework and sumptuous textures echo the style of traditional French engravings, while her modern sensibility and subtle humor infuse the image with timeless sophistication. The artwork serves as a bridge between past and present—between Rococo’s romance and Art Deco’s modern elegance.
