About this work

This poster shows a man and woman at a theater. The woman wears a fancy hat and fur collar, leaning toward the man, who’s in a dark suit with a top hat. Bold black and red text reads "The Ault & Wiborg Co." Their faces are simple, but the clothes and stage lights pop. The text below says they made printing inks, so this might be an ad. The woman’s pose looks relaxed, like she’s enjoying the show. Look up Impressionism to see how this style used bright colors and everyday scenes.
