About this work

This poster shows two scenes side by side. On the left, a woman stands nude, holding a baby and a small animal. The background is a flat red with a dark outline. On the right, a woman in a long dress sits with her back turned, her hair loose. The colors are mostly brown and green, with bold red text. The text names a play called *Brand* by Henrik Ibsen, translated by Count Prozor. The names of actors are listed in a box, like a program for a show. Look up lithography next to see how this print was made.
