DC Curator and Director of Art Programs Barb Conner cleverly included the Charles Loraine Smith painting Gentlemen, the Fox! in a libations- themed art tour for members of the Art and Beer societies last fall. Prompted by a quirky detail of the painting that depicts the tail of a fox springing forth from a raised English pub tankard, member Chris Hestin suggested the creation of a DC original cocktail. Michael Zimmerman, director of Food and Beverage, took on the challenge, and now the DC Foxtail is available for order at the Club—no hunt required.
T he painting Gentlemen, the Fox! is on view just outside the Pine Room on the second floor of the clubhouse. Read more about the painting and artist in The Art of the Duquesne Club, available in the Library and the first-floor gift shop.
