Alfons Mucha (1860 - 1939) NECTAR

This poster design is one of the most sought after from the Documents Décoratifsset. Marked number 14, it promotes a commercial product as an almost mythical product and captures Mucha's entire commercial design oeuvre. Although it never appeared as a full-size poster, it contains all of his classic, stylistic Art Nouveau features - a woman with stylized hair, a decorative halo behind her, a flowing dress, text grouped at the top and bottom of the image, in a vertical format, and with elaborate decorative elements that support the vertical structure of the design. Framed under anti-reflective glass with UV filter.
