This print is part of a series showing scenes from Tennyson’s play “Becket,” performed at the Lyceum Theatre. Forestier used simple lines and light shading to capture quick moments on stage. The images are numbered with captions below, like a program guide. The work mixes Impressionist touches with realistic details—soft light here, sharp edges there. It feels like a snapshot from 1893, caught in ink. See how Forestier brought theater to paper—then check the Victoria and Albert Museum.
