PRIVAT ANTOINE THEODORE LIVEMONT (1861-1936)

RAJAH. 1900.


29 1/2x15 3/4 inches, 75x40 cm. [Van Leer, Amsterdam.]
Condition B: replaced top and bottom margins, including printer's text; extensive repaired tears and overpainting through image and text.

For this archly Art Nouveau image, comparable in pose and style to Mucha's 1896 poster for Job rolling papers, Livemont employs his exceptional use of the white outline. While this stylistic element pervades Livemont's work, it stands out much more boldly in a small format and against a dark background.
