About this work

This poster shows a muscular man in a crouched pose, wearing a patchwork outfit with diamond shapes. His arms are flexed, and he holds a stick in one hand. The background is plain, with bold black and red text around him. The text says "L'Arlequin," which is a character from old theater shows. The style looks like it was printed quickly, with rough lines and bold colors. Want to know more? Check out lithography to see how this was made.
