Est: $4,000 - $6,000
LUCIEN METIVET (1863-1932) EUGÉNIE BUFFET / AMBASSADEURS. 1893. 47½x30½ inches, 120½x77½ cm. Charles Verneau, Paris. Condition B+: replaced and overpainted losses in margins and corners, some slightly affecting text; repaired tears, creases and restoration in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; small replaced loss along fold; repaired pin holes in margins. Although he studied painting in the Montmartre studio of Fernand Cormon (along with Toulouse-Lautrec), Lucien Metivet became a prolific illustrator, working for the best satirical magazines in Paris, like Le Rire and L'Assiette au Beurre. He was a member of the Montmartre circle of artists where he did a lot of work decorating cabarets. Here, he depicts the chanteuse Eugenie Buffet in the role she created for herself as an impoverished working-class girl. She is shown walking down a snowy Parisian street, with her hair and dress the only two dark spots in the image. Metivet cleverly puts her name on a poster on the hoarding he passes, and writes "every night" in the snow behind her steps. This is a classic, French café-concert image. Maitres 22, DFP-II 574, Gold 170.

The entire play is written in verse, with rhyming couplets of twelve syllables per line, and is interestingly responsible for introducing the word "panache" into the English language. The play would later be adapted for stage, film, television, and opera; most notably, Anthony Burgess wrote a new translation and adaptation of the play in 1970. (Art Nouveau; Theatre)
