Elisabeth Sonrel was a French painter and illustrator that mainly worked in the Art Nouveau style. Her oeuvre included allegorical subject, mysticism and symbolism, portraits and landscapes. In her early years, she has also produced many posters, postcards and illustrations that were mainly portraying beautiful women with lavish hair depicted in the typical Art Nouveau decorative style. One of her most famous posters is the one for Roger et Gallet, a firm of French perfumers that specialized in toilet soap and perfumes. The poster portrays a woman surrounded with flowers and holding a bouquet of violets, referring to the newly synthesized fragrance of violet that the firm has introduced by the end of the 19th century.
