About this work

This poster shows a woman in a dramatic pose, sitting with one arm raised and her head tilted back. She’s dressed in a long, flowing dress with a high collar, and her hair is pulled back. The background is mostly empty, with just a few loose lines and text. The text lists names and roles, likely for a play called *Brand*. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to draw her, giving the image a lively, unfinished feel. Check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints with stone and ink.
