A classic Belle Époque colour lithograph of the French aristocrat, Count Charles de Sampieri. It was created around 1900 by the renowned French caricaturist and illustrator Georges Goursat, widely known as Sem. This piece is part of Sem's debut self-published folio, Le Turf, which catapulted the artist to overnight fame by brilliantly caricaturing the prominent Parisian socialites and racegoers of the era.
