Description

This elegant Art Nouveau advertisement poster for 'Le Journal des Ventes' features two fashionably dressed women in dramatic black gowns surrounded by lush floral motifs, a small illuminated figurine, and decorative birds, rendered in muted olive greens, creams, and blacks. The publication was a Belgian Sunday sales journal directed by Ch. Vos et Co., located at 23 Rue de la Putterie in Brussels — a historic commercial street in the heart of the Belgian capital. Georges de Feure's characteristic sinuous line work and layered botanical ornamentation give the composition a dreamlike, theatrical quality typical of the 1890s Belgian Art Nouveau movement.
