This rare Art Nouveau poster exemplifies the beauty and sophistication of early 20th-century French advertising art.

The poster’s soft color palette, predominantly warm yellows and muted greens, enhances its vintage appeal. The two female figures, surrounded by lush botanical details, symbolize the connection between art, nature, and modern design.
