“L'Hiver” (Winter) — Alfred Stevens Art Postcard

A tall woman in a dark burgundy bustle gown stands beside a pink-clothed table where a tall blue vase holds pampas grass, a gilded Japanese folding screen catching the lamplight behind her. Beyond the window, bare trees stand in snow — Alfred Stevens sets the warmth of a Parisian salon directly against a winter she can only observe through glass. Signed "A. Stevens," the painting pairs his signature Japonisme collecting with a rare seasonal mood.

"L'Hiver" (Winter) is one of Stevens's quintessential salon interiors, where imported Japanese screens and Louis XV furniture frame the stillness of a cold afternoon indoors. This Zolota Ptakha postcard, 10×15 cm on 350 g/m² cardstock, suits winter correspondence, gifting, or a collector's Japonisme shelf. Explore more in the Alfred Stevens collection.
