Job is a popular brand of cigarette paper produced in Perpignan, France. In the late 1890s, the company hired art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha to design advertising posters for the brand. Mucha drew a long-haired goddess smoking a rolled cigarette. The image was inspired by Michelangelo's Sibyls from the Sistine Chapel. Thanks to Job posters and its characteristic style, Mucha became one of the most influential artists of his time.
