About the Artwork

A Troubadour and His Mirror

The Bénédictins de Soulac poster catches a smiling troubadour mid-step with a hand mirror raised. His pale costume stands out against black, and the cape swings into a pool of red behind him. Above the figure, gold lettering gives the dental preparations their full name.

Artwork and design

The oval mirror is a small counterpoint to the sweeping cape. On the left, tiny illustrations of the products sit above a short list of forms. White and red ribbons trail to the right and create motion at the height of the figure’s face.

About this design

Leonetto Cappiello’s 1922 design advertises the Bénédictins de Soulac dental preparations. He lets a pleased expression and a theatrical costume tell the story while keeping the packages near the edge. The resulting portrait gives the brand an unmistakable figure to go with its name.

Rooms and interiors

Hang it near a vanity, in a dressing room or alongside theater-themed prints in a hallway. Black and cream can carry the contrast into the room, and a small red accent will echo the cape. The compact details work well close to eye level.
