Small black ink spatters in the left margin at the height of the monogram, slightly affecting the subject. Minimal traces of oxidation in the four corners of the leaf. All margins. Ref: Ian Millman, Georges de Feure, Maître du symbolisme et de l'Art Nouveau, ACR Édition, Paris, 1992, p. 60 and repr. p. 61: "The emphasis on the modernity of women makes the poster a response to Grasset's poster for an earlier salon."
