Le Roi Candaule

Charles Guérin

National Gallery of Art

This is a theater program cover for the play "Le Roi Candaule" by André Gide. On the left side, there is a sketch with simplified and abstracted forms showing figures in an intricate scene. One figure appears thoughtful, potentially observing or interacting with another, while a minimally outlined third figure may be gesturing or positioned in the background. The sketch style is loose with sweeping lines, conveying a sense of motion or drama. The right side contains program information for the play in black text, listing characters, performers, and decorative elements separating text sections.
