Sitting quite literally in the lap of luxury, an elegant lady is examining the purchases she has recently made at the White Sale at A La Place Clichy. They are being shown to her by her maid, having recently been removed from the shipping box at her elbow. Far more sensitive and even painterly then many of his earlier posters, this poster is an example of Pal's art at his mature best.
