Description
Artist: ALPHONSE MUCHA (1860-1939) Size: 15 1/2 x 21 in./39.5 x 53.4 cm Imp. F. Champenois, Paris (not shown) Mucha created this unbelievably seductive lithograph expressly for L’Estampe Moderne, a monthly portfolio of four lithographs issued between 1897 and 1899. His rendering of Salome presents the legendary temptress as a Byzantine gypsy – diaphanous apparel, raven tresses hung with rings, plucking an ancient stringed instrument no doubt to accompany herself in the “Dance of the Seven Veils.” An extremely rare version of this design printed on chine paper, with both the publisher’s blindstamp in the lower right and an exquisite remarque to the left!
