This particular series shows Mucha’s harmonious style of composition, later to be called a ‘Q formula’. It incorporates a seated figure into a circular motif with the tail of drapery hanging down. By pairing each of the Arts with a natural motif—for example, birdsong alongside music—Mucha emphasises the contribution of nature to creative inspiration.
