Alphonse Mucha "Twilight" circa 1900 Antique postcard
A moment of silence, swaying between dream and reality.
"Twilight," one of the series of works published by Alphonse Mucha in 1899, is a poetic depiction of the twilight hours after sunset, featuring a female figure standing alone.
The gesture of quietly pulling at her clothes, the pale pink and brown colors, and the fantastical silhouette of a forest in the background - all of these delicately express the feeling of "twilight," a time on the border between everyday life and fantasy.
This work is an antique postcard produced as a spinoff from a series of decorative panel works, and it is a piece that tells us that Mucha's works have been enjoyed in daily life since that time. When enjoyed together with another work in the series ("Dawn"), the poetic sentiment of the female figure, which changes with the passage of time, is further accentuated.

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.
