Boutet, a figure associated with the Parisian art scene of the late nineteenth century, was known for his depictions of women and his contributions to graphic arts during the Belle Époque. The composition features a central reclining female figure, rendered with the light, fluid line work characteristic of Boutet's etching style. She appears to hold or present the book itself, surrounded by floating hands and the menu text, which lists the courses and wines served at the event, including 'Filet de Bœuf Cresson' and 'Moët et Chandon'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work captures the social atmosphere of the period, where art, literature, and gastronomy intersected in the salons of Paris. The inclusion of specific details, such as the 'Embrasement de la tour Eiffel' listed under the evening's entertainment, provides a glimpse into the celebratory nature of the occasion. The monochromatic, sepia-toned ink on paper reflects the aesthetic preferences of the time for printed ephemera. Boutet's ability to integrate text with figurative elements demonstrates his proficiency in the graphic arts, a skill that earned him recognition among his contemporaries. The etching is not merely a functional menu but a piece of personal branding, documenting a specific moment in the artist's career and his social circle. The delicate, almost sketch-like quality of the lines suggests an informal yet deliberate approach to the design, typical of the artist's broader body of work in etching and pastel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dwarsdoorsnede-blaas-lucas-kilian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDwarsdoorsnede blaas - Lucas Kilian — Lucas Kilian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vanity-fair-statesmen-no-118-anything-to-beat-grant-thomas-nast\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVanity Fair: Statesmen, No. 118 \"Anything to Beat Grant\" - Thomas Nast — Thomas Nast\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri Boutet","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810332545359,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810343522639,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58810343555407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810343588175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810343620943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810343653711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810343686479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810343719247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810343752015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58810343784783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58810343817551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58810343850319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Menu-for-the-Dinner-Celebrating-the-Publication-of-Henri-Boutet-graveur-et-pastelliste-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789680043387.jpg?v=1789704570"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/collections\/henri-boutet.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
