Description

Contratto, founded in 1867, is an Italian alcoholic beverage company which produces sparkling wine, vermouth, and Contratto Americano Rosso.

In this Art Deco masterpiece, we see a magnificent madam gliding beneath an oversized glass of bubbling Contratto. The movement in her crimson top dances playfully as her floral skirt flows beneath. Now, if you look closely, is that blue in her hair? Classic, cheeky, Cappiello. Always a surprise awaiting a keen eye!
