About this work

This poster shows a lively dance scene with four exaggerated, colorful figures. The woman in the center wears a bright yellow dress and a big feathered hat, holding a flower. To her right, a man in a red suit with a Santa-like hat dances too. The background has a green sky with wavy lines and tiny stars. The text at the top reads *"Au Quartier Latin"* in bold blue letters. The figures look like performers from a cabaret or theater, full of energy and movement. The text at the bottom says the poster was sold for charity, priced at two francs. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
