About the artist : Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923) was a prominent artist of the Belle Époque, best known for his striking Art Nouveau posters. His designs capture the atmosphere of late 19th-century Paris, particularly the lively cabaret culture of Montmartre. Among his most iconic works is Le Chat Noir (1896), featuring a bold black cat that has become one of the most recognizable images in poster art. Steinlen's posters are admired for their expressive linework, vibrant colours, decorative compositions, and ability to combine commercial advertising with artistic creativity.
About the poster : Originally created in 1905, Steinlen’s Clinique Chéron was commissioned as an advertising poster for a veterinary clinic located at 8 rue des Moulins in Paris. It depicts a young woman surrounded by an affectionate gathering of cats and dogs, reflecting Steinlen’s well-known love of animals.
