The Piece
Montmartre, gaslight, red silk. Estelle Moreau was raised above a bakery in Belleville, the daughter of a widowed seamstress, and became the woman who carried the Moulin Rouge from fading folklore back into a Parisian flame.
The red is the whole painting. Allibe commits to it as her single emotional colour and then refuses to let it become costume — the silk is worked, scraped and reopened rather than rendered, so it holds light the way fabric does instead of sitting flat. The face is characteristically unfinished. Twenty-four by thirty inches, and the most French thing in her catalogue.
History & Provenance
Kat Allibe is a French-born contemporary painter working in Reno, Nevada, and the originator of Emotional Impressionism. She painted privately for over thirty years — more than 150 works, almost none of them sold — before entering formal study at the Milan Art Institute in 2025.
Viridian Eclection is her private dealer. This painting comes directly from the studio, with a certificate of authenticity issued and signed by the artist.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
Red is the colour most people are afraid to hang and the one that transforms a room when it is handled properly. This is a small enough canvas to take the risk on, and a good enough painting to justify it. Strong in a dining room, a bar, or against dark panelling.
Available for private viewing at The Morris Hotel Building, Reno. Trade and design enquiries welcome.
Every piece is packed with professional-grade materials: multiple foam layers, double-boxing, directional and fragile handling labels. For large furniture we use custom timber crating. We photograph packing before dispatch and can provide images on request.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
