This wonderful brooch/watch hanger with it’s portrait of a lady within a flower is quintessential Art Nouveau, expressing the romantic link with nature in a dreamy yet realistic style. The enamel has survived one century in perfect condition, probably due to it’s heavy construction. The enameling technique is superb, of subtle pink and flesh tones of opalescent enamel with matte finish, without bubbles, and beautifully accented with painted enamel “makeup” on the face and veining on the flower petals.
