Wiener Chic (1905)

Mucha designed several covers for the Parisian monthly Le Chic, and the partner publication Wiener Chic which was sold in Vienna, Paris, Berlin, London and New York.

Mucha's female model sits in an S curve pose, playfully tilting her head to one side as her hair fills the space around her. Her dress is decorated with ornate Art Nouveau jewellery.

The peacock feather motif on the left symbolises youth and pride.
