The artwork, titled “Baudin,” was created by Leonetto Cappiello in 1933. It is a part of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of advertisement posters.
In the artwork, a woman dressed in traditional culinary attire stands at a stove, demonstrating a cooking scene. The stove is detailed with ornate patterns, and there are pots emitting billowing steam, emphasizing the act of cooking. The background is a deep blue, which accentuates the figure and the stove. The bottom portion of the artwork displays the word “BAUDIN” in bold letters, followed by the phrase “LA CUISINIÈRE DES CUISINIÈRES,” which translates to “the cook of cooks.” The overall composition and color scheme are characteristic of Cappiello’s distinctive style, often utilized in advertisement posters of the early 20th century.
