About this work

This poster shows a man in a red shirt and green pants leaning over a desk, sketching. Behind him, a bright red wall with tiny honeycomb shapes covers most of the space. A lamp with a green shade sits on the desk, and a small figure of a person stands in the corner. The floor has a repeating pattern of tiny dots and lines. The text at the bottom reads *"Paul Hankar, Architecte, Rue Defacqz 63"*, suggesting this is an ad for an architect. The bold colors and simple shapes make it look like a design from the 1890s.
