Description
A framed color print titled "Maurice," depicting a caricatured French sommelier in black vest, bow tie, and white apron, carrying a tray with a Veuve Clicquot champagne bucket and flutes while holding a bottle of Champagne from Reims. A decorative wall piece in the popular French-bistro genre, presented in a white wood frame with a black mat. The image is a print on paper reproducing a loose, illustrative watercolor/gouache-style original. The scene shows a mustachioed waiter standing on a tiled floor against a wine-red wall, with a small framed "Concert / Bal" poster over his shoulder echoing the Belle Époque cabaret-poster tradition of Chéret and Toulouse-Lautrec. 23"H x 19"W Good condition.
