Quinquina Dubonnet. ca. 1899

Lot Passed

Artist: EUGENE OGÉ (1869-1936) Size: 22 3/4 x 30 7/8 in./57.7 x 78.5 cm Imp. Charle Verneau, Paris (not shown) This "panel for Dubonnet shows the skilled hand of an expert lithographer, and wonderful dashes of irony in the expressions of the assorted imbibers. Ogé was to use . . . an assortment of characters several more times, sometimes even using a commercial client's poster design to make a political comment" (Wine Spectator). Here, we see everyone from grandma to a newborn baby enjoying the delightful taste of the aperitif. Ogé's principal claim to fame was his long tenure as house artist for the printer Charles Verneau around the turn of the century; he also, however, produced numerous drawings that were well-received in fine-art circles. This is the 1-sheet, vertical format.

B+/ Slight tears at folds & edges. Framed.
