"Dancing Nude and Advertisement for Eugène Verneau's "Estampes décoratives" [verso]" is a lithograph created in 1897 by French artist Louis Anquetin. The print features a nude male figure, rendered in delicate, tonal shading, against a background of stylized foliage and swirling clouds. The composition is reminiscent of the work of Anquetin's contemporaries in the *Symbolism* and *Art Nouveau* movements, with its emphasis on suggestive forms and flowing lines. The verso of the sheet presents an advertisement for the decorative prints of Eugène Verneau. This piece offers an interesting glimpse into the artistic practices and promotional strategies of the late 19th-century French art scene.
