QR Code Link to This Post
This is a print of the Alfred Mucha's Poster for Victorien Sardou's Gismonda starring Sarah Bernhardt.
There is an imprint on it:
Imprimeries Lemercier, Paris (the original Printer's name)
Framed dim: 14.75"w x 28" h x 1.25d, the frame itself is 1.5 inch and dark brown wood looking, matted.
"Mucha portrayed Bernardt as an exotic Byzantine noblewoman wearing a splendid gown and an orchid headdress with a palm branch in her hand. This costume was worn in the last act, the climax of the play, where she joined the Easter procession. Placing her life-size figure on an arched platform, Mucha rendered the beauty and dignity of her personality onstage rather than representing her realistic features or the story.
Delighted with Mucha's design, Bernhardt continued to use this poster for her American tour in 1896." (see last image)
An original Alphonse Mucha Gismonda (1894) poster can sell for $12,000–$20,000 at auction. (AI)
But I have seen it listed for $34,000.
I took some of the images outdoors, others indoor at neon light.
