"Au Balcon" is a notable work by the French artist Jean-Émile Laboureur, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century art scene known for his distinctive style that blends elements of Cubism and Art Deco. Born in Nantes in 1877, Laboureur initially studied law before turning to art, where he trained under the tutelage of renowned engraver Auguste Lepère and later at the Académie Julian in Paris. His artistic journey took him across Europe and the United States, where he absorbed various influences that would shape his unique aesthetic.

"Au Balcon," which translates to "At the Balcony," is a prime example of Laboureur's mastery in capturing the subtleties of modern life through his intricate line work and keen sense of composition. The piece typically features elegantly dressed figures, often women, depicted in a moment of leisure or contemplation on a balcony. This setting allows Laboureur to explore themes of urban sophistication and the private versus public spheres, a recurring motif in his oeuvre.

Laboureur's technique in "Au Balcon" showcases his proficiency in both etching and engraving, mediums through which he could achieve remarkable detail and texture. His work is characterized by a delicate yet precise line quality, which lends a sense of grace and refinement to his subjects. The influence of Cubism is evident in the geometric structuring of forms and the flattened perspective, while the decorative elements reflect the Art Deco movement's emphasis on elegance and stylization.

Throughout his career, Laboureur was associated with various artistic circles and movements, contributing illustrations to literary works and collaborating with other artists and writers. His works, including "Au Balcon," are celebrated for their ability to capture the essence of the early 20th-century zeitgeist, blending traditional techniques with modernist sensibilities. Today, Laboureur's art continues to be appreciated for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of a bygone era.
