This image depicts a figure carrying a large wooden beam across its shoulder. The figure is portrayed with bold, black lines against a plain background. The image includes handwritten text in French, which appears to be a form of promotion related to theater or performance. The text references "Theatre Libre," "Chanson," and "Silhouettes du Café-Concert." The overall composition is simple but attention-grabbing, with the strong lines of the figure and text standing out against the plain toned paper. The name "H.G. Ibels" in the upper left corner is likely the artist's signature.
