Ingham Marsala Wine
(0000-0285)

by Marcello Dudovich

Vineyard goddess squeezing grapes into goblet held by cherub.

Working for Ricordi in Milan from 1906 on, the Trieste born Dudovich established himself as Italys leading posterist. For the Ingham brand of marsala, a fortified Sicilian wine, he portrays a vineyard goddess robed in filmy green, squeezing grapes into an oversize goblet held by a gallant cherub. Cherubs were a favorite motif of Dudovich, charmingly used, they were sure to create immediate and sympathetic attention.
