    Marie Laurencin
    Marie Laurencin (October 31, 1883 – June 8, 1956) was a French painter and printmaker.
    The original medium was ink and watercolor. High-shoulder level, stained label. The artist strip label of this vintage fine art, by Marie Laurencin, depicts two beautiful adolescents with hair adorned with clusters of grapes.
    Laurencin was born in Paris, where she was raised by her mother and lived much of her life. At 18, she studied porcelain painting in Sèvres. She then returned to Paris and continued her art education at the Académie Humbert, where she changed her focus to oil painting.
    In addition, Laurencin had important connections to the salon of the American expatriate and famed lesbian writer Natalie Clifford Barney. She had heterosexual and lesbian affairs.
    She is known as one of the few female Cubist painters. While her work shows the influence of Cubist painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who was her close friend, she developed a unique approach to abstraction which often centered on the representation of groups of women and female portraits. Her work lies outside the bounds of Cubist norms in her pursuit of a specifically feminine aesthetic by her use of pastel colors and curvilinear forms.
    During the First World War, Laurencin left France for exile in Spain with her German-born husband, Baron Otto von Waëtjen, since through her marriage she had automatically lost her French citizenship. The couple subsequently lived together briefly in Düsseldorf. After they divorced in 1920, she returned to Paris, where she achieved financial success as an artist until the economic depression of the 1930s. During the 1930s she worked as an art instructor at a private school. She lived in Paris until her death.
    Château Mouton Rothschild
    Château Mouton Rothschild is a wine estate located in the village of Pauillac in the Médoc, 50 km (30 mi) north-west of the city of Bordeaux, France. Its red wine of the same name is regarded as one of the world's greatest clarets. Originally known as Château Brane-Mouton it was renamed by Nathaniel de Rothschild in 1853 to Château Mouton Rothschild. It was the first estate to begin complete château bottling of the harvest.
    Considered by many to be one of the most collectable wine label made, Mouton labels are hard to come by unless you drink the wine or go to France to the Chateau and get sample labels. A good bottle will cost a lot of money. The other thing that makes Mouton labels so collectable is the artwork. Art and wine have a long association. Since 1924, Chateau Mouton Rothschild has commissioned a contemporary artist to create an original work to illustrate its label. Each year the label features a different artist and they have had some great art on t labels including Picasso, Chagall, Miro, Braque, Dali, Marc Chagall, and Henry Moore plus many other great artists.
