Original lithograph from "Les Maitre de L'Affiches" series. Printed by Imprimerie Chaix, Paris, 1896. Condition A. Certificate of Authenticity is provided.

"The image of Buffet walking down a snowy street, her hands stuffed into her pockets and eyes burning intensely, is one of the classics of poster art. "This is the earliest of three posters Metivet did for this chanteuse; in all cases, he puts her on ordinary Paris streets in the clothes of a Paris working girl, the persona she projected in her performances" (Gold, p. 118). This prolific magazine and book illustrator did few posters" (Rennert, PAI-XXXVI, 418)
"Metivet's work for a number of illustrated periodicals (including Le Rire) won him a considerable reputation? This poster is among the finest examples of French poster art and deserves to be placed on a par with Toulouse-Lautrec's masterpieces. The subdued colouring, the imaginative use of lettering, and the expressive central figure all form a harmonious whole" (Paris 1900, p.120)
