This sketch shows a woman in a flowing dress, her arms raised as if mid-motion. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. Below, a list of names and roles for a play called *La Lépreuse* is written in careful script. The artist used red ink on a light background, making the lines stand out sharply. This was likely a program for a theater performance. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
