Pepita hanteert een lichtschakelaar bij een podium before 1948

"Pepita hanteert een lichtschakelaar bij een podium" is a black and white ink drawing by Dutch artist Hans Borrebach, dated before 1948. The drawing depicts a woman in a long gown standing on a stage, seemingly unaware of the stagehand behind her who is adjusting the lighting equipment. The stagehand is drawn in profile, while Pepita is depicted from behind, emphasizing the dynamic between them and the different roles they play. The stark contrast in the lighting creates a sense of drama and intrigue, a typical element in Borrebach's work, which is known for its use of humor and satire. The detailed drawing style and use of line work further enhance the whimsical and somewhat cartoon-like quality of the work.
