This iconic illustration was created in present-day Czech Republic and is a defining work of the Art Nouveau movement. While initially a commissioned ad for the Compagnie Française des Chocolats et des Thés, this vibrant piece of art has gracefully outlived this initial purpose. It is a dynamic piece, portraying a tall, reassuring maternal figure mid-stride holding three steaming cups while her two eager children, captured still at the height of their excitement, pull at her skirt for hot cocoa.
