This is a drawing of a theatrical advertisement. The image is an advertisement for a theatrical production titled "Ubu Roi." The composition features a combination of text and illustrative graphics on a poster. In the upper left, there is a block of text listing cast members and theatrical details. On the right side, a large figure is wielding a weapon above their head, opposite an ornamental plant and a structure in flames, with a sack marked "5,000" nearby. Below, two figures appear engaged in reading or discussion. The style is reminiscent of woodcut illustrations, with bold, simplistic forms and strong contrasts.
