La Belle Jardiniere – July 1896

"La Belle Jardiniere – July" is an 1896 illustration by French Art Nouveau designer Eugène Grasset. Depicting a woman tending to a lush garden, the image is characterized by intricate detail and a harmonious blend of natural and decorative elements. The woman's flowing dress, the delicate lilies, and the twisting branches of the tree all contribute to the sense of organic form and fluidity that defines the style. Grasset's work is a testament to the Art Nouveau movement's embrace of nature as a source of inspiration.
