"A red-haired lady with fauna and flora, plus a sailboat in the background
is the subject of an original lithograph commissioned by the publishers of L'Estampe
Moderne, where the concept of the design was explained as a garden of dreams where
visions appear amidst mysterious flowers, 'The fairy tale
princess who dreamt of the return of her price sees him coming off a white sailboat,
with his loyal greyhound greeting him with joy" (Rennert
PAI)
"Is there such a thing a thing as feminine mystique? Georges
de Feure, for one, explores that side of the female psyche perhaps more thoroughly
than any other posterist. He views his women as enigmatic, often portraying them
with sly little smile of private amusement"
(Gold
p.24)
Not unlike the Maitre de L'Affiche series, L'Estampe Modern
was a portfolio printed between 1897-98, published by Imprimerie Champenois, Paris,
contained 24 monthly portfolios, with four original lithographs in each. Each
commissioned only for this series. As well as Mucha, some of the contributing
artists included Rhead, Meunier, Ibels, Steinlen, Willette and Grasset. This is
from the series with the blindstamp in the margin lower right corner.
