"Le Noeud bleu (Montesquiou XL)" is a distinguished artwork by the French artist Paul César Helleu, renowned for his exquisite portrayals of the Belle Époque society. Helleu, born on December 17, 1859, in Vannes, France, was a master of drypoint etching and is celebrated for his elegant depictions of fashionable women. His works often capture the grace and sophistication of his subjects, reflecting the opulence and refinement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"Le Noeud bleu" exemplifies Helleu's exceptional skill in drypoint, a technique that involves incising an image onto a plate with a hard-pointed needle. This method allows for delicate lines and subtle gradations of tone, which Helleu used to great effect in rendering the intricate details of his subjects' attire and expressions. The title, translating to "The Blue Bow," suggests a focus on a particular element of the subject's clothing, a motif that Helleu often employed to highlight the elegance and fashion of the period.

The subtitle "(Montesquiou XL)" indicates a connection to Robert de Montesquiou, a prominent French poet, dandy, and art collector, who was a significant figure in the cultural milieu of the time. Montesquiou was known for his extravagant lifestyle and his influence on the arts, and he served as a muse and patron to many artists, including Helleu. The "XL" could denote a specific series or collection associated with Montesquiou, emphasizing the close relationship between the artist and the aristocrat.

Helleu's work, including "Le Noeud bleu," is characterized by its refined elegance and attention to detail, capturing the essence of the Belle Époque's high society. His portraits are celebrated for their ability to convey both the physical beauty and the inner grace of his subjects, making him a beloved figure in the history of French art. "Le Noeud bleu (Montesquiou XL)" stands as a testament to Helleu's artistic prowess and his enduring legacy in the world of fine art.
