About this work

This painting shows a woman in a long dress holding up a bright yellow sign. The sign says *"L'Opéra de 4 Sous"* in bold black letters. Behind her, a dark, shadowy figure crouches on the ground. The messy, uneven brushstrokes and dripping paint give it a rough, urgent feel. The scene looks like a protest or a quick sketch of real life.
