One of several designs Metlicovitz prepared for the SauzÈ FrËres cosmetics firm, this one being an especially lovely Impressionistic image of an alluring woman in warm flesh tones against a blue-green background. Metlicovitz was born in the Adriatic port city of Trieste, and appears to have become a painter and portraitist without any formal training. In 1891, he showed up in Milan at Ricordi’s print shop as a lithography trainee, proving to be such a quick study he was promoted to technical director within a year.
