EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Maxim's restaurant in Paris, circa 1901. Created by Sem (Georges Goursat), a renowned artist of his time, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork captures the essence of the era's art nouveau decor and society. The Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris holds this exquisite piece, which is now part of eArchives Charmet. The image depicts an elegant interior filled with fashionable individuals dressed in evening attire. It transports viewers back to a time when dining at Maxim's was considered the epitome of gourmet indulgence and sophistication. The caricature-like style adds a touch of whimsy to the scene, bringing each character to life. Notable figures such as Haviland, Mlle Darcy, Cornuche, Mademoiselle Pollo, and Mlle Darley grace this painting with their presence. Their fashion choices reflect the trends of that period while they enjoy their meal amidst the vibrant cafe culture. This print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into an era where fine dining experiences were intertwined with artistic expression. It invites us to appreciate both the culinary delights offered by Maxim's and its role as a hub for social gatherings among Parisian elites.
