Original Art Nouveau vintage stone lithograph. This contemplative woman looks into the distance, quill poised, as she ponders how best to translate her inner-most thoughts to paper. Whatever her words, the fine ink she is using is sure to make the most of them.
La Meilleure de Toutes les Encres.
Before fountain pens; there was a day when you purchased ink quils and ink wells to write your letters. This is an image of a product that would make a grand statement in any home.

"Grasset adheres to the classic mode of portraying women as serenely composed and dignified. Only the fluttering hair and scurrying night clouds suggest any wild untamed thoughts." (Gold, p. 5)
This is the larger of two known formats.
