Les Soutiens de la société is a 1896 ink by Édouard Vuillard, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image is a black-and-white print showing a dimly lit theater interior. Two women sit in the audience, one with her back turned, the other facing slightly forward. Onstage, a group of actors—some standing, some seated—perform in front of a curtained backdrop. The lighting is low, with shadows stretching across the stage. The print looks hand-drawn, with rough, sketchy lines that give it a textured feel. The text on the sides lists names and details about a play called *Les Soutiens de la Société*. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
Jean-Édouard Vuillard (French: ; 11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker.
