Lady Reading Framed with Flowers
Music, Books, & New-year's 1903
This appears to be a poster ad.
It feature a woman reading a book, she is surrounded with a frame of flowers.
The flowers through her hair unify the image so that the
frame of flowers does not distract by standing out on its own.
A stringed musical instrument and music sheets are along the bottom.
There are hints of the New-year with stars and hints of
Christmas with round bulb-like circles.
A dreamy, fantasy feeling is created with her hair flowing in the breeze.
Her clothing repeats the silky flowing movement.
Bookmarks hanging down and the strings below that hang from the instrument
give the mind the illusion that the stars between are hanging from the sky.
