Boubouroche; Valet de coeur is a 1893 ink by Henri-Gabriel Ibels, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This poster shows two plays listed at the top: *Boubouroche* and *Valet de Cœur*. In the bottom half, two people stand close together, their faces blurred and hands clasped. The background is a bright, flat landscape with a yellow field, a bridge, and a stage-like platform with a red curtain. The text lists actors and roles, but the focus is on the bold, simple shapes and strong colors. The artist used a method that lets them print in layers, making the image look both rough and precise at once. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
Henri-Gabriel Ibels (1867–1936) was a French artist, born in 10ᵗʰ arrondissement of Paris.
