Hellé

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a vintage poster with a drawing of a woman in a white dress and veil standing in front of a stone structure with columns. The woman has long dark hair and wears a white dress with a belt around her waist and a long veil that covers her head and shoulders. She stands on the left side of the image. Behind her, to the right, is a group of people in white robes standing on a hillside with their arms raised. In the background, there is a body of water and a mountain range. At the top of the image, black text reads "Académie Nationale de Musique". The title "Hella" is written in large black letters at the bottom right, with smaller text below it that reads "Musique d'Alphonse Duveroy", "Poème de C. du Locle et Ch. Nuitter", and "Opéra en 4 Actes". The background of the poster is a light-brown color.
