About this work

This sketch shows a dimly lit theater stage with a small group of people on it. The walls and ceiling are drawn with quick, rough lines, almost like scribbles. The audience seats are empty except for a few scattered figures, and the stage has simple props like a table and chairs. The title at the bottom, *Une répétition à L'Oeuvre*, hints this is a rehearsal scene. The artist used a scratchy, textured style that feels urgent and alive, almost like a quick sketch. Check out how this was made using lithography.
