Description

A young red-dressed girl sips from a bowl while three cats gather eagerly at her feet, rendered in Steinlen's warm, fluid Art Nouveau poster style. This iconic 1894 lithographic advertisement promotes Lait pur de la Vingeanne Stérilisé — sterilized pure milk from Montigny-sur-Vingeanne, a village in the Côte d'Or department of Burgundy, France, distributed by Guillot Frères. Steinlen, a Swiss-French artist celebrated for his cat imagery and Belle Époque poster work, produced this piece as one of the most beloved commercial lithographs of the era.
