"Impatience" is a notable original drawing by Adolphe Willette, a prominent French illustrator, painter, and caricaturist, created for the esteemed series "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche" (The Masters of the Poster) during the Belle Époque era. This series, initiated and published by Jules Chéret from 1895 to 1900, was a significant artistic endeavor that aimed to celebrate and disseminate the finest examples of poster art of the time. "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche" included works by over ninety artists and was instrumental in elevating the status of the poster from mere advertising to a recognized form of art.

Adolphe Willette (1857–1926) was renowned for his contributions to the Montmartre art scene in Paris, often depicting scenes of the bohemian lifestyle with a blend of humor and melancholy. His work for "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche," including "Impatience," showcases his delicate line work and keen sense of composition, characteristics that made his illustrations beloved and influential among his contemporaries. "Impatience" exemplifies Willette's skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and interaction, rendered with a simplicity that belies its emotional depth.

The drawing's inclusion in "Les Maîtres de l'Affiche" highlights its significance within Willette's oeuvre and the broader context of art nouveau poster design. The series itself is a landmark in the history of graphic design, offering a curated glimpse into the vibrant artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through "Impatience" and other contributions, Willette's work remains an essential study for understanding the evolution of poster art and its role in the cultural and artistic milieu of Belle Époque France.
