La Fille d'Artaban; La Nébuleuse; Dialogue inconnu

About this work

This poster shows a black-and-white sketch of a woman’s face and hands, her hair styled in loose waves. The background is mostly empty except for a faint outline of a scorpion above her head. Text lists three plays—*La Fille d’Artaban*, *La Nébuleuse*, and *Dialogue Inconnu*—with actor names and dates for a Paris theater season. The scorpion might hint at danger or a character’s role in the play. The sketchy style uses quick, rough lines, typical of the time. Check out lithography to see how artists made prints like this.
