L'Assomption de Hannele Mattern; En l'attendant

Paul Sérusier

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a theater program cover. The image features a woman lying down on her back, holding a flower with a yellow center. The woman is drawn with a flowing sense of elegance, her hair cascading around her. In the background, there is a faint outline of another figure that blends into the overall green backdrop. The right side of the image contains text detailing a theater production, "L’Assomption de Hannele Mattern," listing the cast of characters and people involved in the performance. The style combines illustrative and typographic elements likely from the late 19th to early 20th century, creating an evocative and dreamy atmosphere.
