Today's prompt in Sketching Every Day was featured artist Alphonse Mucha. He's pretty well known, but a brief potted biog is that he was a Czech artist who lived and worked in Paris during the Art Nouveau period leading up to the First World War. He was particularly known for his lavish posters and illustrations. I did toy with trying to reproduce one, but then I found the original of this pencil sketch, and decided tis would be doable within a reasonable period of time, and also would give me a chance to keep my hand in with an ordinary graphite pencil.
