The intricately detailed costume features a frilly white gown adorned with lace and ribbons, accessorized with a floral headpiece and a Belgian flag held proudly in her hand. The image is a beautiful example of the pochoir stencil handcoloring technique, which was widely used during the jazz age for fancy dress costumes and masquerade parties. Mademoiselle Beulemans was a beloved character in Belgian folklore and was often portrayed as a charming and graceful young woman.

The 1920s were a time of great change and innovation, and this lithograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion, culture, and traditions of the era. Whether used as a decorative piece, a conversation starter, or a reminder of the rich history of fancy dress costumes, this image of Mademoiselle Beulemans is sure to captivate and delight.
