About this work

Artist
Paul Berthon (1872–1934)
Year
1900
Medium
Colour lithograph
Original size
39 × 53.5 cm
Collection
Cleveland Museum of Art
Movement
Art Nouveau

A red-haired woman in a pale dress sits among the white flower-heads of a snowball bush, a viburnum, against a soft green ground, her hair and the flowers drawn in the same gentle curve. Berthon made the colour lithograph around 1900 as a decorative panel, one of the flower-and-maiden prints he published in the manner of Grasset, his teacher, and it was sold to be framed rather than posted. The impression reproduced belongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A red-haired figure among white blossom on soft green, horizontal, for a bedroom, bathroom or above a dresser at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or sage 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. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

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 exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.
Is Les Boules de Neige (Snowballs) in the public domain?
Yes. Paul Berthon (1872–1934) 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 Cleveland Museum of Art.
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; 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 Les Boules de Neige (Snowballs) painted, and in what medium?
Les Boules de Neige (Snowballs) dates from 1900 and was made in colour lithograph; the original measures 39 × 53.5 cm.
What size works above a sofa or bed?
Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Les Boules de Neige (Snowballs) we'd choose 16×24.
