Dictionnaire des Arts Décoratifs c1902 by Czech Painter Alphonse Mucha (1860 – 1939); a bharrachd air dealbhaiche comasach agus neach-ealain grafaigeach a bha na phrìomh fheachd aig an àm Art Nouveau; ainmeil airson an stoidhle aige, Postairean taigh-cluiche sgeadaichte agus sgeadachail.
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.

Alfons Maria Mucha Iuchar 24, 1860 – An t-Iuchar 14, 1939), bha e aithnichte gu h-eadar-nàiseanta mar Alphonse Mucha. Bha e na pheantair ainmeil Seiceach, dealbhadair agus neach-ealain grafaigeach, a ’fuireach ann am Paris aig àm Art Nouveau, agus tha e ainmeil airson na postairean amharcail eireachdail agus stoidhle aige, gu sònraichte an fheadhainn aig Sarah Bernhardt.
Rinn e dealbhan, sanasan, pannalan sgeadachaidh, agus dealbhadh, a thàinig am measg nan ìomhaighean as ainmeil den àm.
Anns an dàrna pàirt de a dhreuchd, aig aois 43, thill e gu dhùthaich a dhùthchais ann an sgìre Bohemia-Moravia san Ostair agus thug e air a bhith a ’peantadh sreath de fhichead canabhas cuimhneachail ris an canar The Slav Epic, a ’sealltainn eachdraidh sluagh Slàbhach an t-saoghail, a pheant e eadar 1912 agus 1926.
Ann an 1928, air an 10mh ceann-bliadhna de neo-eisimeileachd Czechoslovakia, thaisbean e an t-sreath do dhùthaich nan Seiceach. Bha e ga fhaicinn mar an obair as cudromaiche aige. Tha e a-nis air a thaisbeanadh ann am Prague.
