19" X 14" are the dimensions. I purchased this lithograph in the early 70's from a collector who was hesitant to sell it. It doesn't have a name, so to speak, as far as I know. I emailed the Mucha Foundation a few months back because the website mentioned Mucha's grandson visits Los Angeles, California frequently and since it's within reason I could meet with him there, I wanted him to look at the lithograph to tell me if it was, indeed, done by his grandfather, Alphanso Mucha.
Although it took months for the reply, I met with Mucha's grandson and his wife in Los Angeles on January 3, 2014.
He said the litho WAS done by his grandfather, that he hadn't seen this litho before and that there was a pencil sketch of it in his keeping.
I am excited and stunned at the same time. I am going to see that it is placed in a collection and am eager to find out more about it. I was promised a picture of the sketch, although I was told by the grandson they were slow in returning emails as their schedules were full with the Foundation's business. That's it.
