81 - Autoportrait au chapeau vert - Jane Atché, 1909 - Musée du Pays rabastinois - inv.2008.38.1

Jane Atché (1872–1937) made her debut in 1895 at the Salon, displaying a pastel titled Girl with Violets. The following year, she created her first poster for JOB cigarette papers, which was a great success. Not long after, she came into contact with Alphonse Mucha at the "Poster Exhibition of French and Foreign Art" and adopted some of his stylistic techniques. For many years, she was the only woman among the numerous French poster artists.
