Description:
In a mountainous setting, two women, warmly bundled up, comfort themselves with biscuits. "The marvelous work of Cappiello, where he truly glorifies women, is his poster, it's all the posters he has scattered across France, with the generosity of a great artist. Our walls are currently covered with a large advertisement, which looks like a print by Outamaro or Hokusaï, that has been wildly reproduced in an infinite number of copies; it's his 'Snow Flower,' so luminous, so curious in the art with which the two women in red coats are arranged on the immense snowy steppe of the setting..." Georges Grappe, La Presse, July 31, 1905.
