Lot description

Georges Meunier 1869-1942 Papier à Cigarettes Job. 1894. Condition A-: minor foxing and time-staining in margins; minor creases in image. A black cat watches his red-headed mistress, who is so absorbed in smoking her cigarette that she doesn't realize she is slipping out of one of her red shoes. She is boldly set against a complementary red, orange and blue background. "Georges Meunier was one of the painters of talent and charm . . . who are the smiling illustrators of their time. . . a pupil of Chéret . . . his philosophy of the poster was the same 'toujours les femmes et les rires'" (Abdy p. 63). This is the small format. Maitres pl. 167, DFP-II 579, Abdy p. 62, Wember 581 (var).
