Jules-Alexandre Grun's 1900 poster, *Scala - At Last, Finally!* depicts a couple embracing in a dramatic display of passion. The woman, partially nude and wearing a veil, leans into the man's embrace, while he kisses her neck. Grun's use of bold colors, particularly the red background, emphasizes the energy and sensuality of the scene. The graphic design of the poster, with its large, stylized lettering and striking imagery, reflects the theatrical and dramatic nature of the show it advertises. This poster, a prime example of Art Nouveau style, serves as a captivating visual advertisement for the *Scala* revue, a popular form of entertainment in early 20th-century Paris.
