Ivy
Alphonse Maria Mucha (1860 - 1939) was a Czech Art Nouveau painter. However, he did a great many posters and prints. The period of his work has become known as the Belle Epoque. A woman wearing a yellow-green robe with an elaborate border, has green ivy leaves in her hair and trailing on her shoulders, against a mosaic background of crescents, arrows, and floral shapes. The central circular motif is bordered with rectangular areas filled with more ivy leaves and berries.
