The Dream
1890
Before he became the poster boy for Art Nouveau, a young Alphonse Mucha created this delightful 1890 illustration of ballerina Mlle G. Ottolini for the ballet 'Le Rêve.' She strikes a playful pose in a whimsical tutu decorated with floral branches and a striking red bodice, surrounded by delicate, stylized blossoms. This charming piece offers a fascinating glimpse into Mucha's early theatrical work in Paris, showcasing the elegant lines and decorative flair that would soon make him a household name.
