This poster shows a dimly lit theater interior with three men in old-fashioned clothes. One sits reading, another leans over a table, and a third stands in the back. Bright stage lights spill through the curtains, casting yellow and red patches on the walls. At the bottom, two sheep or goats sit quietly in the corner. The right side lists three plays—*La Belle au Bois Rêvant*, *Mariage d'Argent*, and *Ahasvère*—with actor names. The bold type and simple shapes make it easy to read at a glance.
