Théophile Steinlen, "Moth and Doria", 1896 (from Les Maîtres de l'Affiche)

Sale price¥187,000

This was the breakthrough work that catapulted Steinlen to instant popularity as a poster artist.

"Mothu and Doria" is a promotional poster for "Mothu and Doria," a satirical skit featuring two stage actors, produced in 1893. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a Parisian street corner, the poster depicts two men in contrasting outfits standing close together and lighting each other's cigars. Their somewhat theatrical gestures, emphasized contours, and the way the figures stand out under the street lights at night create an atmosphere befitting a play entitled "Scènes Impressionnistes."

The artist is Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, known for his humorous depictions of the lives of ordinary people in Paris at the end of the 19th century. This work is one of his earliest successes that made him famous, and is considered a notable piece in the history of poster art. It is included in Les Maîtres de l'Affiche (Masters of the Poster) No. 46 (1896).

The human drama that emerges in the city at night - it encapsulates the culture and theater of Paris at the end of the 19th century, as well as Steinlen's warm, observant eye.
