This poster shows a tall, pale figure standing on a rocky shore. The person is nude, with one arm raised and the other resting on their hip. Their long hair flows down their back, and the background is a soft, orange-brown wash with a hint of sky and waves. The text on the right lists names and titles of plays—this was likely a program for a theater season. The artist used simple shapes and bold lines to create the figure. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
