A woman in a yellow gown stands in profile against a green and blue night, a bright star and its rays above her, under the lettering of the Concerts Ysaÿe at the Cirque Royal in Brussels, with the date of the first concert. Meunier designed the poster in 1895 for the orchestral concerts founded by the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, and the star, the flat colour and the long yellow figure are Belgian Art Nouveau at its simplest. This is the reduced version issued in 1896 as plate 40 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
A yellow figure under a star on green and blue, for a music room, bedroom or hallway at 12×18 or 16×24 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or navy wall and pairs with Meunier's Rajah.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. 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).
