Alfred Choubrac 1853 – 1902 was a French painter, illustrator, draughtsman, poster artist and costume designer.

The Belle Epoque era in France's cultural and artistic climate (particularly within Paris), the arts markedly flourished and numerous masterpieces of literature, music, theatre and visual arts gained extensive recognition.

Choubrac was praised for his bold lines, sense of composition and highly decorative skills and must have drawn more than four hundred posters for theatres, novels and industry products, before he switched his attention to the design of theatrical costumes, in which he was equally successful. Alfred Choubrac today he is considered one of the most celebrated artists of the Belle Epoque period.
