Art Nouveau Couple in Biplane Over Cityscape

This striking Art Nouveau illustration depicts a whimsical scene of a couple in a biplane soaring past illuminated skyscrapers at night. The male figure, dressed in a green cap and jacket, pilots the aircraft while reaching out to a woman leaning from a building window. She, adorned in a white dress and pearls, extends a bouquet of flowers towards him. The cityscape is rendered in bold blues and yellows, with the dark night sky dotted with stars and streaked with abstract lines. The composition evokes a sense of romantic adventure and the burgeoning modernity of the early 20th century, capturing a playful yet elegant narrative within its distinctive graphic style. The artwork is signed 'JUNG' and features German text at the bottom.
