About this work

This poster shows a dim, wooded scene with two figures. One person sits hunched over, their face half-hidden in shadow. The other stands tall in the background, dressed in dark clothes. The trees are bare, their branches tangled against a pale sky. The text at the top names a play called *La Vie muette*, listing actors and crew. The style is rough and sketchy, with thick black lines and smudges. Next, check out Vuillard, Edouard to see more of his work.
