Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing featuring a theatrical program combined with an illustrative design. The left side contains text of a program for a performance titled "Le Chariot de Terre Cuite," detailing acts, participants, and roles. The right side features an illustration of a person standing behind a sculptural column with raised arms. Curvilinear organic shapes weave through the design, creating an ornate backdrop. The composition shows an Art Nouveau influence with flowing lines and integration of typography and illustration.
