Subject
Children's biscuits made by the biscuit factory Les Desserts Coquin in Sainte Savine near Troyes.
A preparatory drawing was most likely made.

Description:
A little girl enjoys a biscuit under the watchful eye of a parrot on its perch. It waits for the right moment to steal it from her.
"This exquisite composition by the highly personal and talented artist L. Cappiello greatly contributed to the 'Petit Coquin' making its mark worldwide. The artwork showcases craftsmanship and study only a master can deliver, and the tasteful printer Vercasson, through meticulous reproduction, did not diminish the subject's value in any way. The reach of this poster in terms of advertising was highly productive; 'Les Desserts Coquin' owes much of its current success to it." Albert Coquin, director of the Troyes-based Desserts Coquin factory, June 7, 1903, to Monsieur Vercasson.
