Absinthe du Montbart. ca. 1905

Lot Passed

Artist: M. RINGEL Size: 19 1/4 x 26 1/2 in./48.9 x 67.4 cm J. Royer, Nancy A rare and interesting image promoting the Montbart absinthe distillery. Rather than show the typical image of a person enjoying the beverage, we see a faceless fellow down on his luck, begging the allegorical figure of the Green Fairy for assistance. In response, she points toward the town, indicating that the absinthe found there will be all he needs. Surrounding this scene are various tableaux of the distillery, including its laboratories, cellars, offices, and workshops.
