Description

This iconic Art Nouveau advertising poster depicts a woman in red and a young auburn-haired girl seated at a table enjoying chocolate and tea, while a black-and-white cat looks on — capturing a warm, domestic intimacy characteristic of Steinlen's style. The poster was created for the Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés, a prominent French confectionery and tea company, and is considered one of the finest examples of late 19th-century French commercial poster art. Bold lettering, a limited yet vibrant palette of red, black, and ochre, and fluid figure work reflect the lithographic poster tradition that flourished in Paris during the Belle Époque.
