Aleardo Villa (1865–1906) was one of Italy's most recognized illustrators, known for his bold yet graceful poster designs. This particular piece, created for "Paris Cigarettes," is a masterful display of Art Nouveau principles: the composition centers on a gorgeous, languid woman whose flowing red hair and dreamlike expression merge with the swirling, decorative motifs. This use of the alluring female figure (the femme nouvelle) was essential to fin-de-siècle advertising, blending sensuality with artistic flair. The overall design—executed in rich, saturated colors—is a prime example of the international poster craze, elevating a commercial advertisement for vice into a lasting work of art that captivated audiences across Europe.
