JULES CHÉRET (1836-1932)

PIPPERMINT. 1900.


48x33 3/4 inches, 122x86 cm. Chaix, Paris.
Condition B- / B: entirely-recreated upper right corner and background; repaired tears, creases and restoration in margins and image and along vertical and horizontal folds; replaced losses at edges.

Shading the woman in the same cool mint green as this liquor, Chéret uses the complementary red in the background to create contrast and drama. This is the larger format. Broido 883, Maitres 213, DFP-II 205, Wine Spectator 2, Drink 8.
