The Piece
France's most enigmatic chanteuse, painted by a French artist who will not finish a face. Mylène appears on stage beneath the brim of a dramatic hat and never reveals more than the curve of her mouth. No one has seen her eyes.
It is the subject Allibe's method was made for, and she knows it. The hat does the withholding the brushwork usually has to; the eyes are not obscured as a stylistic choice but as the actual fact of the character. The palette is cabaret — smoke, velvet, one warm stage note — and the mouth is the only fully resolved passage in the picture. Twenty-four by thirty inches.
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.

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.
