Reading on the Terrace. Delphin Enjolras (French, 1857-1945). Oil on canvas.

The woman at the table is engaged in reading a book, perhaps out loud to the other two women. Enjolras used light to create atmosphere, often highlighting the figure’s exposed skin and silken diaphanous drapery. Here, he uses the light from a late sunset and from the lamp on the table.

The Seasons / F. Champenois. 1900. Alphonse Mucha.

Each: 12 x 27 ¼ in./30.5 x 69.2 cm

Of the three “Seasons” sets which Mucha created for Champenois, this is the most introspective: a tour de force, reaching beyond the decorative and into the subconscious. Winter is bundled up, seductive, anticipating; Spring has some serious erotic business in mind. Summer, with her loose blouse and lifted skirt, glances over her shoulder: “no time to waste.” Autumn arrives, dripping in Byzantine majesty. This is the Champenois variant on silk, three of which are framed on their original display bars.
