La Prostituee (The Prostitute)
L'Empoisonneuse (The Poisoner)
La Fumeuse D'Opium (The Opium Smoker)
La Suicidee (The Suicide)
The Edwardian Ball

These four pieces, collectively Bad Girls of the Edwardian Era, will be displayed for sale at the Edwardian Ball in San Francisco, Friday 1/31/25-Saturday 2/1/25.  Top to bottom, they are:  La Prostituee (The Prostitute), L'Empoisonneuse (The Poisoner), La Fumeuse D'Opium (The Opium Smoker), and La Suicidee (The Suicide).  They pay homage to  the Art Nouveau figures of Alphonse Mucha, but with attention to the darker side of Edwardian femininity.  For more information on the Edwardian Ball, please see HOME | edwardianball.
