About this work

A nude young woman with a great fall of golden hair, half draped in white, holds a paintbrush in one hand and a quill in the other, framed by lettering announcing the twentieth exhibition of the Salon des Cent. The Salon was the gallery of the art magazine La Plume, which sold lithographs by its contributors, among them Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Ensor and Grasset. Mucha designed the poster in Paris in 1896, and it was printed by F. Champenois. It is the work in which the curving lines, pale tones, flat colour and strong outlines that define his mature style first appear together, and it won him the respect of the avant-garde as well as the public. The impression reproduced here 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.

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 Salon des Cent (20th Exhibition) in the public domain?

Yes. Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) 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, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Salon des Cent (20th Exhibition) painted, and in what medium?

Salon des Cent (20th Exhibition) dates from 1896 and was made in colour lithograph (poster); the original measures 63 × 43 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
