[Woman in Champagne Glass]
On loan to The Met
This work of art is currently on loan to the museum.Redell, a photographer and sales manager at Underwood and Underwood Studios, harnessed the power of sex appeal in this photomontage of an attractive young woman enjoying a cigarette while bathing in a glass of champagne—a pictorial fantasy of luxury and indulgence that was probably created as a tobacco advertisement.
