This framed work is a limited edition diptych etching titled Portrait of the Artist, numbered 21 of 50. Artist signed in the lower right. This item is in pre-owned, previously displayed condition with light wear and surface scratches. Please reference all photos for full details.<br> <br> Art: 21 1/2" x 28 1/2". Weight: 5.5 lbs<br> <br> This item is originally from the collection of liquor icon Michel Roux. One of Mr. Roux’s signature spirits at Crillon was absinthe, the anise-flavored spirit known for its popularity among 19th-century artists like van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec. It was banned by the United States in 1912 amid concerns that wormwood, one of its ingredients, which contained thujone, caused hallucinations. In 2000, Mr. Roux introduced a legal absinthe, Absente, which used a sister botanical, Southern wormwood, with only trace amounts of thujone.
