This is a typical Art Noveau piece, the ladies in the picture are wearing pastel colored, loose fitting dresses and large hats. It seems as though the dog in the poster is a pet because of the red collar, in those days a pet would of been an accessory rather than a friend. The open neck of the the ladys dresses are quite rebellious which is typical of art noveau. I was attracted to this piece by the colour scheme, the light pastel colours work really well against the greens and browns.

This painting was one of the most influential creations that inspired the Art Noveau Movement. The swirling forms display freedom and individualism, thinking outside the box and being different is art in itself. This Painting shows this. The thing that is most stunning is that this painting was created from a memory and not from viewing a landscape and painting from the surroundings. The flowing forms attracted me to this piece becuse it is a different way of creating clouds and other free flowing forms.
