Tintin Resin Figure Drinking Tea - The Blue Lotus

If there is one age-old tradition in China, it is the art of tea. A sacred ritual to which Tintin devotes himself in The Blue Lotus, as soon as he arrives in Shanghai. Adapted from a panel on page 9 of the album, the 3D representation lets us relive this iconic moment from The Adventures of Tintin, where the hero, seated in a comfortable green armchair, wearing a yellow shirt and red tie, is about to taste the delicate brew that has just been served to him, under Snowy’s interested gaze. This new resin piece with vibrant colors has, like the previous ones, been designed with the utmost respect for Hergé’s line. The piece is delivered in a box and comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity. The tea scene, seen in The Blue Lotus (page 18, panel B2 of the black-and-white edition and page 9, panel D2 of the color edition), is among the most remarkable compositions in Hergé’s work. This intimate panel alone sums up the precision of his line: that famous ligne claire, so characteristic of his style. Here, the artist creates a zen atmosphere by playing with rounded, harmonious forms, which he counterbalances using discreet straight lines.
