Although the artist is unidentified on this poster, it is a pure Art Deco image. This was not a unique approach to advertising, and the designer must certainly have seen Nikolaus Stoeklin's 1927 "blue profile" poster for Gaba, and might likely have seen Jean Carlu's poster Spatenbrau (also from 1927) featuring three cubist people seen drinking in profile. The result here is a clean, geometrical approach with nicely drawn details, like the smoke from the cigars.
