About this work
A mannequin shows a dress with a floral pattern to several customers. Behind her, a window with a view of the street. The print is part of a series of 12 woodcuts by Fernand Siméon, with texts by Paul Valéry, for the seventh issue (10th year, 1922) of *Modes et Manières d'Aujourd'hui*. Each edition had a print run of only 300 copies and was exclusively dedicated to one artist who designed 12 prints around a specific theme. This series focuses on 'the life of the fashionable woman in society'.
