'Les Femmes de France' is a vibrant Illustration from the Maîtres de l'Affiche collection, a notable series of color lithographic plates from the Belle Époque in Paris. This collection, curated by Jules Chéret—the father of poster art—features works from ninety-seven artists reproduced in a smaller 11 x 15 inch format. The artwork exemplifies the Art nouveau (modern) style, characterized by flowing lines and decorative elegance, celebrating the beauty and spirit of French women during that era. It reflects the era’s artistic flourish and innovative approach to commercial Illustration.
