This is a painting of a theatrical poster for a play titled "La Fumée, puis la Flamme." The artwork features a stylized depiction of smoke transforming into fire, with flowing orange and black forms suggesting movement and transformation. A figure with an elongated arm and flowing hair rises from the flames, intertwining with curvilinear designs. The design includes text in French, listing the cast and details of the theater performance at Le Théâtre Libre for the 1895-1896 season. This is in the style of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, known for his graphic and innovative poster works for theatrical productions.
