About this work

Artist: Georges de Feure (1868–1943)
Year: 1897
Medium: Colour lithograph (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche plate after the poster)
Original size: 39 × 29 cm
Collection: Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, reduced plate)
Movement: Art Nouveau

Two women in dark dresses and wide hats, their hair and feathers drawn in flowing Art Nouveau curves, lean over a list of sales against a pale ground, under the lettering of Le Journal des Ventes, the Brussels auction paper. De Feure designed the poster in 1897 for the paper of the auctioneers Ch. Vos et Cie, in the swirling, sombre manner of his Symbolist drawings. This is the reduced version issued in 1898 as plate 146 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, printed by Chaix in Paris. The impression reproduced is from the Bibliothèque nationale de France's copy of the series.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Two dark-hatted figures in black and pale ochre, for a study, hallway or dressing room at 12×18 or 16×24 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or cream wall and pairs with de Feure's Salon des Cent.

Style, size & framing detail

Style: Art Nouveau painting
Era: 19th century (1897)
Orientation: Portrait
Mood: decorative, sophisticated
Rooms: hallway or entryway, study or library, living room, dining room
Good gift for: housewarming, art lovers

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18, 16×24 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Le Journal des Ventes in the public domain?

Yes. Georges de Feure (1868–1943) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Bibliothèque nationale de France.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18 and 16×24 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Le Journal des Ventes painted, and in what medium?

Le Journal des Ventes dates from 1897 and was made in colour lithograph (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche plate after the poster); the original measures 39 × 29 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 16×24 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 12×18 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Le Journal des Ventes we'd choose 12×18.
