LEONETTO CAPPIELLO COGNAC MONNET. 1927. 77x501/4 inches. Devambez, Paris. Condition A-: creases in margins and image; repaired tears in margins. A woman in red and purple is kissing the bright yellow sun in her glass. Certainly cognac gives you a warm feeling inside, much like drinking sunshine. Here Cappiello illustrates that concept, and executes it brilliantly, evoking the grapes used through the color of the lady's dress, highlighting the brightness of the sun via the black background, and playfully wrapping it all around the motto "from the sun to your snifter." Cappiello / Rennert 443, Wines & Spirits p. 42.
