Humorous and expressive serigraph by celebrated French artist Guy Buffet depicting his well-known culinary character Chef Henry. The chef stands proudly in full white uniform and tall toque while examining a glass of wine, with a rooster tucked under his arm—an amusing nod to French culinary tradition. Buffet is widely known for his whimsical scenes of chefs, restaurateurs, and café culture, rendered with exaggerated figures and warm color palettes. This limited edition serigraph reflects the artist’s playful storytelling style and is hand-numbered and signed.
