About this work

Artist: Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947)
Year: 1891
Medium: Colour lithograph (poster)
Original size: 78 × 50 cm
Collection: Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (department of Prints and Photography)
Movement: Belle Époque

A laughing young woman with a glass of champagne, her dress and hair dissolving into foam, fills the upper half of the sheet, the lettering France-Champagne curling above her and the name of the proprietor E. Debray below. Bonnard designed the poster in 1889 and it was printed in 1891 for the champagne merchant Debray of Reims; it was his first poster, made when he was twenty-two, and it convinced Toulouse-Lautrec to try the medium. The single ochre colour, the flat planes and the lettering drawn as part of the picture make it the first poster of the Nabis. Printed by Edw. Ancourt, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A foaming figure in a single ochre, for a bar cart wall, dining room or hallway at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black, no mat. It suits a white or cream wall and pairs with Toulouse-Lautrec's Irish and American Bar.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other kitchen prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is France-Champagne in the public domain?

Yes. Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Bibliothèque nationale de France.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was France-Champagne painted, and in what medium?

France-Champagne dates from 1891 and was made in colour lithograph (poster); the original measures 78 × 50 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For France-Champagne we'd choose 16×24.
