Description
This iconic Art Nouveau advertising poster depicts two women — one in a vivid red blouse sipping from a teacup and a younger red-haired girl holding a bowl of hot chocolate — accompanied by a black-and-white cat at a café table. The bold lettering announces the Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés, a celebrated French confectionery and tea company that commissioned leading Belle Époque artists to produce its advertising imagery. Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's characteristically warm, figurative style and his affection for cats lend this chromolithographic poster an intimate domestic charm that made it one of the most recognizable commercial prints of late-19th-century Paris.
