A red-haired young woman in a yellow dress holds a sprig of flowers, in profile against a blue ground, under the lettering Salon des Cent and the announcement of an exhibition of Grasset's work. Grasset designed the poster in 1894 for his own exhibition at the gallery of the magazine La Plume, 31 rue Bonaparte, the first of the Salon des Cent shows; the heavy outline and flat colour come from stained glass, which he also designed, and from medieval illumination. Printed by G. de Malherbe, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

A red-haired profile in yellow and blue with heavy outlines, for a living room, hallway or study at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or blue wall and pairs with Berthon's Salon des Cent.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
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).
