Lobel-Riche is renowned for the finesse of his line and his representations of the world of gallantry.This drypoint is a condition of one of the illustrations for the Hispanic novel La Maison de danse by Paul Reboux (1877-1963). If the novel dates from 1904, the richly illustrated edition by Lobel-Riche dates from 1928. Note that this is not an illustration removed from a book but a separate print.
