Description
A striking Art Nouveau advertising poster depicting an elegant woman in profile, dressed in a dramatic black gown and holding an hourglass encircled by an ouroboros serpent — a symbol of cyclical time — against a vivid amber-orange background. Designed by Koloman Moser, a founding member of the Vienna Secession and co-founder of the Wiener Werkstätte, the poster promoted Frommes Kalender, a well-known Viennese calendar and almanac publisher active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bold Secession-style typography at the base reads 'Frommes Kalender / Zu beziehen durch alle Buch- und Papierhandlungen' (available at all book and stationery shops), making it a quintessential example of Viennese poster art.
