Champagne Veuve Clicquot, Arnold van Roessel, c. 1900

A paper lantern, a bottle on its side, two empty glasses.

What

A Dutch lithograph for Champagne Veuve Clicquot designed by Arnold van Roessel, dated by the Rijksmuseum between 1900 and 1913.

Why

The scene is the end of a party: the bottle is down, the glasses are tipped, the lantern still burns.

Notice

The Rijksmuseum record notes the dragon on the lantern at upper left.

“French wine, sold in Amsterdam with a picture of the morning after.”
