Untitled is a 1985 by Anthea Pender, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a statue of a seated man holding a green plant. Behind him is a bright blue sky with yellow sand and a building with two doors. The word "Xerxes" is written in bold letters across the middle. The image mixes a real-looking statue with a flat, graphic style. The bright colors and simple shapes stand out against the detailed statue. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more posters like this.
The poster features a reproduction of Roubiliac’s sculpture of Handel holding a cactus, accompanied by text and imagery related to the English National Opera’s production of Handel’s *Xerxes* at the London Coliseum on February 23, 1985.
