He was adept at portraying modernized Roman-Greco images



More ornate than fanciful

7. To me that looks like an Edwardian interpretation of a faerie, minus the wings. :^) But maybe
I'm seeing faeries because I just really like them.

This lady has done some cool work and is inspired in some of her pieces by Mucha: http://www.enchantedgal.com/gallery.html

16. Thanks!

I didn't know the details, just know it totally caught my eye first time I saw it, hanging in the window of a little shop in the Pike Place Market. Finally decided I had to get it. It's the centerpiece on one of my livingroom walls, and on either side of it are four small Mucha prints, representing the 4 seasons.
