A group of four decorative panels by Alphonse Mucha on the theme of times of the day is estimated to make $50,000-75,000 on February 25.
The sale will take place at Swann Auction Galleries in New York.
 The quartet depicts four women personifying the times of the day |
The quartet (titled Morning Awakening, Daytime Dash, Evening Reverie and Nightly Rest) feature the floral decorations typical of Mucha's style, including a border that extends around the edges of each print.
Mucha (1860-1939) was a Czech artist best known for his development of art-nouveau, which was heavily influenced by the natural world.
The Four Seasons, another set of decorative panels by Mucha, is valued at $20,000-30,000.
In June 2013 a set of Four Seasons lithographs made $62,500 at Bonhams New York.
Also featured in the sale is an original copy of Document Decoratifs, a book published in Paris in 1902, which displays Mucha's technical ability.
It offers tuition in drawing women and flowers, and includes a variety of designs for a range of products, from jewellery to furniture.
The record for a work by Mucha is set at $195,952 for a study for the Slavic Epic (1910-1928), a cycle of 20 paintings which sold at Dorotheum in Prague last year.
We have a range of art and photography memorabilia for sale, including this postcard signed by Pablo Picasso - a contemporary of Mucha.
