About this work

This image is a poster for a play called *Carmosine*. It shows a woman in a flowing dress, standing on a stage with a simple curtain behind her. The drawing is loose and sketchy, with lots of thin lines and swirling patterns around the edges. The text at the top names the government ministry and the theater where the play was performed. The artist used a mix of pink and yellow ink on a paper that looks a bit like old book pages. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
