Raoul Dufy’s Wine as a Treatment for Appendicitis depicts a lively day at the races, blending elegance, humor, and social charm. In the foreground, three sophisticatedly dressed women—hats, heels, and refined silhouettes—stand poised, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. Behind them, horse trainers, racehorses, and stylish visitors move through the scene, capturing the glamour and rhythm of French equestrian culture. Dufy’s loose linework and bursts of color animate the composition, infusing it with energy and delight.

This lithograph is highly collectible for its whimsical theme, cultural vibrancy, and signature style. Part of the beloved Mon Docteur, Le Vin series, it exemplifies Dufy’s gift for turning social scenes into joyous visual narratives—making it a standout piece for collectors drawn to charm, sophistication, and artistic wit.
