About this work

This poster shows big, soft flowers in pale peach and white, with green leaves. The flowers are simple but bold, almost like a flat design. The background is a light greenish-gray, and the whole thing feels airy. The words "Théâtre Libre" are written at the top, hinting this was for a play. The artist’s name, George Auriol, is signed in the corner. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
