Description

A warm, intimate Belle Époque advertising poster depicts a woman in a vibrant red dress and a young girl seated at a table, each savoring cups of chocolate or tea, while a watchful black cat sits at their feet. The richly lettered text announces 'Chocolats' and 'Thés' for the Compagnie Française, a French purveyor of chocolate and tea products. Steinlen — the Swiss-born, Paris-based artist celebrated for his posters, cats, and affectionate portrayals of everyday Parisian life — brings his signature lithographic warmth and narrative charm to this commercial piece, likely printed in Paris in the mid-1890s.
