This print by Martinet shows a scene from 19th-century theater life. It’s a colored print with a long French title about amateurs rehearsing on a small stage. The title hints at a comedy or satire aimed at everyday people trying to act. It feels like a snapshot of a private show before the real crowd arrives. Curious about prints from this era? Look up Martinet.
