Alphonse Mucha "Portrait of Princess Ilse" Lithograph from "Ilse, Princess of Tripoli"
A maiden with flowers in her crimson hair quietly gazes in our direction.
This female figure painted by Mucha seems to project the "ideal" described in the story. This image was used as the main visual for Ilse, including the title and advertising materials at the time.
The jewel-like decorations, the soft, flowing curves of her hair, and the mystery hidden within her facial expression...
All of these things draw the viewer's attention and make them lose track of time.
As an independent decorative page separated from the main text,
This illustration is like a “silent poem” within the book.
This is a quiet piece that is unique to Mucha, conveying a lot without saying much.
This work is included in the lavishly illustrated book "Ilse of Tripoli," published in German in 1901.
This piece is not double-sided, but is a rare "single-sided illustration" with a blank back, making it in perfect condition for framing.
The print features Mucha's characteristic soft and elegant color scheme, with delicate color divisions and frame decorations reminiscent of metal wire.

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.
