This exquisite Art Nouveau poster by Firmin Bouisset—best known for his iconic commercial imagery—reveals a tender, introspective side of the artist’s work. Titled Jeune fille dans un décor de feuillages, the composition presents a young girl in prayer, gently enveloped by a symphony of organic forms: soft white lilies and swirling leaves in muted tones of green and ochre, delicately echoing the girl’s innocence and purity.
Executed with exceptional finesse, the design exemplifies the floral elegance and sinuous linework that define the Art Nouveau period. The stylized vegetation serves not merely as decorative framing but as a symbolic extension of the girl's contemplative state—nature and soul intertwined.
This original lithograph was likely created around 1900, a peak moment for the genre, and stands apart for its spiritual undertone and unusually quiet intimacy. Rare in subject and masterfully composed, this piece captures Bouisset’s ability to transcend commercial graphics and engage poetic, almost sacred, visual language.
A beautifully preserved example, this work is not only a fine piece of turn-of-the-century printmaking, but also a collectible testament to Art Nouveau’s lyrical power.
