Alphonse Mucha (Czech, 1860-1939) Young Couple from Rusadla, 1920 oil on canvas signed and dated lower right 30 1/4 x 25 Catalog Note: The present work is accompanied by a certificate from the Mucha Foundation, dated 3rd November 2021. The Foundation plans on including this work in a forthcoming catalogue raisonné. This rediscovered painting, depicting an embracing young couple, is a fully realized study from a larger composition by Mucha. The larger composition, titled Rusadla, illustrates a procession scene from a Slavic Midsummer Feast. The two figures in this painting appear in the upper-right-hand corner of Rusadla. Rusadla was reproduced in the magazine Zlatá Praha, 30 July 1919, issue 45/46, p. 361.
