A woman in a red dress sits surrounded by animals, two cats on a table beside her, two dogs at her knee, a black cat on her shoulder, under the lettering of the Clinique Chéron, a veterinary surgery in the rue des Moulins in Paris. Steinlen designed the poster in 1905 for the vet Chéron, and the crowd of patient animals is the whole subject; the dogs and cats are drawn with the affection of a man who kept dozens of them. The red dress and the cream ground are printed by Charles Wall, Paris. The impression reproduced belongs to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

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. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
