Raphael Kirchner "Girl Playing the Harp - Greek Maiden" 1900 Antique postcard
The melody of paradise is spun quietly.
"Greek Maiden Playing the Harp" by Raphael Kirchner.
This work is one of the postcards in the series "Greek Maidens (Vierges Grecques)" created around 1900.
Soft, flowing lines, a dreamy background, and a woman dreamily playing the harp.
This is a delicate and elegant piece that blends the elegance of Art Nouveau with a longing for ancient Greece.
A total of nine types were produced in this series and it was very popular at the time.
*Some inscriptions from that time remain on the address side.
The time-worn handwriting adds a unique antique charm.

About the condition
This work is an original antique print created over 100 years ago.
All works sold by Rivoli Antiques are genuine pieces of artistic value printed at the time, and are not later reproductions or copies.
Due to their nature, antique prints rarely come with individual certificates of authenticity like contemporary works.
Therefore, where you buy and who is in charge of selecting the works are of utmost importance.
At Rivoli Antiques, we carefully select our items based on the trust we have built through many years of collaboration with museums and experts.
We only introduce works that you can safely add to your collection.
Natural fading and stains may appear over time, but these are also proof of the era the piece has passed through and are elements that convey the texture of the materials and techniques used to create it.
You can also come and see the paintings in person at the gallery to check their condition, so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
