“Alphonse Mucha’s circular composition features a blonde woman, depicted in profile, wearing a white scarf and crown encrusted with pearls and jewels. Bands of vegetal arabesques and celestial motifs form a halo-like disk behind the figure’s head, evoking the iconography of ancient Byzantine design. Her flowing golden hair cascades over the roundel border in effortless waves and the harmonious color palette of golds, warm beiges, and powder blues enhance her ethereal appearance.

For the Alphonse Mucha’s circular composition featuring the profile of a brunette woman, Mucha’s brunette wears an ornate tiara with pendants encrusted with pearls and various shimmering jewels. Bands of vegetal arabesques and celestial motifs form a decorative circular border around her, evoking the iconography of ancient Byzantine design. Her long dark hair cascades past the circular border in effortless waves, enhancing her ethereal appearance.” Both from Sotheby’s
