A woman with green and blue flowers in her hair is draping herself over an elaborate pillow, over a portfolio of prints, against a blue, red and lavender background. Originally issued as a poster promoting Mucha's work as being for sale at the La Plume office in Paris, this version without text (also known as "Woman With Poppis") is more common, as it was sold as a decorative panel.
