Golden Age

A hauntingly beautiful dated 1919 oil on canvas painting by the American artist and illustrator Charles Allan Winter. A nude Art Nouveau maiden with a purple iris posed in front of mosaic work in a style and aesthetic that recalls Alphonse Mucha. Painting is framed in a completely hand crafted gesso batwing frame that was created specifically to house this jewel of a painting.
