Alphonse Mucha 'The Primrose' and 'The Feather' Art Nouveau Prints
This item is a decorative art print featuring two of Alphonse Mucha's most iconic Art Nouveau lithographs from 1899: 'The Primrose' (left) and 'The Feather' (right). The prints are rendered in the classic 'Le Style Mucha' characterized by sinuous lines, floral motifs, and idealized female figures with flowing hair. The color palette is composed of soft, muted earth tones, pale pastels, and metallic-gold accents. Each figure is framed by an ornate circular halo or 'aureole' containing intricate geometric and organic patterns. 'The Primrose' shows a woman in profile surrounded by flowers, while 'The Feather' depicts a woman holding a large quill, symbolizing poetry or literature. The prints appear to be modern reproductions rather than period originals, likely printed on medium-weight paper stock and currently contained within a protective plastic sleeve. The bottom left margin features a copyright line from 'Portal Publications LTD., San Francisco,' indicating it is a high-quality commercial poster reproduction from the late 20th century. The condition appears fair to good; there is some light corner creasing and the paper shows slight undulation, but there is no evidence of Significant foxing, tanning, or moisture damage. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the sharp registration of the lines and faithful recreation of Mucha's original lithographic texture.
