This classic Art Nouveau image is advertising a decorative arts gallery that has modeled itself on Rudolf Bing's gallery L'Art Nouveau in Paris. Here a young lady is surrounded by Jugendstil furniture and sculpture and, with a print in her hand, she is admiring the objects d'art. The decorative frame around the image and the typography further epitomize the Art Nouveau essence that effuses throughout the image.
