It captures two young faunesses in a woodland setting, rendered with the characteristic graphic clarity of the Art Nouveau period. Grasset was a central figure in the development of the style, often drawing from natural forms and mythological subjects to create decorative compositions.\n\nThe work displays a flat, two-dimensional quality typical of late nineteenth-century printmaking. The figures are defined by clean, flowing outlines, while the background foliage is simplified into blocks of muted colour. This approach reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints, which were widely collected and studied by European artists at the time. The composition balances the movement of the figures with the static, patterned nature of the surrounding trees and flowers.\n\nGrasset’s technical skill is evident in the controlled use of a limited palette. The interplay between the pale skin of the faunesses and the deep, forest-toned background creates a clear visual hierarchy. The inclusion of the artist's monogram and the date in the lower corner confirms its origin within his mature period of production. This print demonstrates his ability to integrate mythological themes into a decorative framework, a hallmark of his contributions to the graphic arts of the fin de siècle. The work remains a clear example of the period's interest in the intersection of classical mythology and modern graphic design, prioritising line and silhouette over traditional modelling or perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paris-almanach-1894-georges-de-feure\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eParis-Almanach, 1894 - Georges de Feure — Georges de Feure\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eugène Grasset","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58068427309391,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58068534034767,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58068534067535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58068534100303,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58068534133071,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Les-petites-faunesses_Poster_CompositorV1_1782607808221.jpg?v=1782608073","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/les-petites-faunesses-eugene-grasset","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
