This poster shows a single figure standing with one leg bent, her body turned sideways. Her hair is loose and flowing, and she’s wrapped in a long, flowing cloth that covers most of her body. The background is mostly empty, with just a hint of a floor and a small curled-up object at her feet. The text on the poster names a play called *Fausta*, which was performed at the Théâtre de l’Œuvre. The artist’s signature, *C. Léandre*, is in the corner. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
