This is a beautiful an colorful art nouveua illustration of a young redhead with large green and red flowers protruding from her hair.
She is in a seated position leaning forward with her left forearm resting on her raised right thigh, with her left hand holding a writing pad over her thigh.
Her right thigh is also supporting her right elbow that has her right forearm bent upwards and her hand holding a green quill pen.
She is wearing a lavish green full length dress with reddish accents toward the lower portion, that has folded shoulder padding and chain jewelry hanging off her right shoulder; and on the lower part of her dress on the right we see similar accents; while in the chest area on either side are fan like designs, and along the waist a large blue sash.
In the background is a large multi-concentric disc, which is comprised of additional circles and rings; and along the outer most ring, there are 14 large circles that have wing like spears within them.
At the top are the words Dictionnaire des Arts Décoratif set against a blue gradient background and along the bottom additional wording, indicating what the illustration represents approximately 600 engravings done by Paul Rouaix (b1850 – d?); that are published by Montgredien & Co Librairie Illustree and the company address.
The original book illustration is very basic as compared to the poster illustration in that it is set against a dominating yellow base, green flowers in her hair, pink dress, grey-blue sash and green book.
I accented the piece by creating an embossed looking metal frame with a teal blue background for a more eye capturing art nouveua piece.
