À propos de l’œuvre
Wilfrid R. Addey (1912-1999) worked as a commercial artist for over sixty years, working for Dorland Advertising and Mitchells among other London advertising firms. His work shows the range of products and illustration styles, from aeroplanes and cars, beer and perfume, to satirical cartoons and calendar pin-up girls and is representative of the post war boom in advertising during the late 1940s and 1950s.

This pen and ink drawing shows the interior of a large entrance hall, possibly of a house or hotel. Men and women are shown in the foreground conversing while in the background, up a staircase, waiters carry trays with bottles of champagne and couples dance. The figure types of these two women, with their thin high eyebrows, defined lips, long faces and long willowy bodies follow the style of fashion illustration in the 1940s. This was probably drawn as an illustration of a high society party for a magazine.
