Hines, Stroud & Co., London. The Art Nouveau image of a woman wearing ornate jewellery and a flowing gown, as well as the swirling vegetation, is typical of Mucha's style.\r\n\r\nMucha was a painter and designer born in Moravia who went to Paris in the 1880s to study art. This was a time when barriers between fine art and the applied arts were breaking down and  Mucha became celebrated on the Continent for his posters, particularly those of the actor Sarah Bernhardt. Mucha is one of the artists most closely associated with the Art Nouveau period.","physicalDescription":"Cushion cover panel of printed cotton velveteen. With the half figure of a woman holding a flower amongst stylised foliage and plants on a ground covered with sinuous Art Nouveau forms. The flowers and foliage are in yellow, green, pink and lilac. The woman stands in three-quarter profile to the right and holds a daisy. Her long golden hair flows from beneath a tightly fitted cap in red and green. The design is printed over the flat woven selvedges of the cotton velvet. A stem in the lower right bears the signature of the designer.\n\nThere is almost a full repeat of the design in the height of the cut panel.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Alphonse Mucha","id":"A5481"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Hines, Stroud & Co.
