A young woman with loose fair hair, in a green dress, holds a bunch of flowers among tall irises, a dark wood behind her, under the lettering of the exhibition. Grasset designed the poster in 1893 for an exhibition of decorative artists, in the manner he had made his own: heavy outlines, flat colour, flowers drawn from his pattern books. Printed by G. de Malherbe, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
This full-bleed edition prints the work edge to edge from a high-resolution scan of the original, very slightly cropped (a few percent at most) to fit the sheet. The gallery edition shows the whole work, uncropped. The original is in the public domain.

A girl among irises in green and violet, for a bedroom, living room or garden room at 18×24 or 24×32 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or sage wall and pairs with the Salon des Cent poster.
