"Sem" was the pseudonym of Georges Goursat (1863–1934), a French caricaturist famous for his depictions of the Belle Époque's high society and celebrity culture. While "Sem" is not a specific work by Goursat, it represents his body of work, which includes numerous illustrations, posters, and caricatures that provide a satirical and often humorous insight into the lives of the Parisian elite during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Born in Périgueux, Dordogne, Goursat moved to Paris to pursue his artistic career. He initially studied at the École des Beaux-Arts but soon found his calling in caricature. His work was characterized by a sharp wit and a distinctive style that combined elegant line work with a keen eye for social nuances. Sem's illustrations were published in various periodicals and newspapers, such as "Le Rire" and "L'Illustration," and he also produced a series of albums featuring his caricatures of contemporary figures.

Sem's work provides valuable historical insight into the period's cultural landscape, capturing the essence of personalities ranging from politicians and royalty to artists and entertainers. His legacy includes not only his contributions to the art of caricature but also his influence on the visual culture of his time.

As an artist, Sem's significance lies in his ability to document an era through his unique artistic lens, making his work an important resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. His caricatures remain a testament to the vibrancy and dynamism of the Belle Époque, reflecting the social attitudes and fashions of one of Paris's most glamorous periods.
