A flower-crowned woman rests clasped hands beneath her chin

A woman with wavy auburn hair crowned with pink, peach and coral flowers rests her clasped hands beneath her chin, a fringed cream shawl draped over one shoulder. A halo of stylised pink and peach blossoms fills the roundel behind her head. Below, a long ivory scarf curls in a wide crescent at her feet beside two small mauve shapes. Lettering along the sheet names it a reproduction from a series of decorative panels; the artist signed and dated it 1901 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.
