“Jeune Fille au Bouquet” — Alfred Stevens | Art Postcard

A young woman with upswept red hair and a single red flower tucked into it holds a small bouquet of red and white blooms, her high-necked ruffled blouse rendered in loose, confident brushwork against garden foliage and a pale wall. Alfred Stevens gives her an unguarded freshness rare in his more formal salon portraits — this is a face caught mid-thought, not posed for effect.

"Jeune Fille au Bouquet" (The Bouquet) is a lighter, more youthful register for Stevens, possibly part of a series exploring seasonal or floral themes. Printed at 10×15 cm on 350 g/m² cardstock, this Zolota Ptakha postcard makes a warm gift for a birthday, a thank-you, or simply the pleasure of flowers on paper.
