La Biche Apprivoisée, Robe de Paul Poiret, from Gazette du Bon Ton, Issue 4, by Jean Bernier (active 1910-1925) & Léon Bakst (1866-1924). France, 1922.

I chanced upon this illustration browsing through the excellent selection of prints at the Victoria & Albert Museum Online Shop. The fine details, sense of movement, and folkloric theme made me fall in love instantly.

I lean my head slowly to the side, reflect on the camellia on the moss of the temple, reflect on a cup of tea, while outside the wind is rustling the foliage, the forward rush of life is crystallised in a brilliant jewel of a moment that knows neither plans nor future, human destiny is rescued from the pale succession of days, glows with light at last and, surpassing time, warms my tranquil heart.
