A couple in evening dress converse beside an iron gate

A fair-haired woman in a pale yellow gown with puffed sleeves and a ruffled white jabot stands before an ornamental wrought-iron gate, an open fan raised near her shoulder. A mustached man in a black evening tailcoat, white waistcoat and bow tie leans toward her, one gloved hand at his chest, the other bare and holding his glove. Tall white lilies and brown-toned foliage fill the foreground. Lettering above and below the scene advertises Biscuits Lefevre-Utile, with an orange sunburst emblem at the lower left.

Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) created the look of Art Nouveau almost overnight with his 1894 poster for Sarah Bernhardt's Gismonda. Through the following decade in Paris his theatre bills, advertising panels and decorative series — the Seasons, the Flowers, the Times of Day — set women in halos of stylised ornament, pale colour and flowing hair. He later devoted himself to the Slav Epic, a cycle of twenty monumental canvases. His work is held by the Mucha Museum in Prague and the Musée d'Orsay.
