La Patrie en danger is a 1889 by Jean François Raffaëlli, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white poster with bold, sketchy lines. At the top, the word *Saison* is written with a swirling script, followed by the years *1889–90*. Below it, a dramatic figure with wild hair and a cape is mid-leap, holding a flag. Underneath, a man’s face appears inside a circle, like a pocket watch. The text says *Théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs* and gives an address in Paris. This was likely a playbill for a theater season in 1889, blending art and performance.
