The artwork "Byzantine Head: The Blonde" features a fair-haired woman in profile, her head surrounded by a halo-like disc, reminiscent of religious iconography. Her hair is elaborately styled, and she is draped in rich fabrics that suggest opulence and regality. Mucha's use of gold leaf and decorative motifs in the background enhances the sumptuousness of the composition, while the woman's serene expression and the harmonious lines contribute to the overall sense of elegance and tranquility.
