A personal Art Nouveau study after Alphonse Mucha’s Moët & Chandon Crémant Impérial (1899), created as a return to detailed portrait and ornamental illustration.
Rather than aiming for a faithful reproduction, I used Mucha’s original composition and silhouette as a framework while reworking the portrait, foliage, jewellery, costume details and decorative elements through my own drawing and rendering process.
The study became an exercise in rebuilding hand, colour and detail — particularly the balance between the figure, ornament and repeated motifs.
Personal study, 2026.
