Theater Program for Une Journee Parlementaire 1893 - 1894

This is a program for a play by Jean-Louis Forain, a renowned French artist known for his satirical and often cynical depictions of Parisian life. The program depicts a caricature of a man in a suit, likely an upper-class individual, standing and smoking. The detailed linework and hatching style are characteristic of Forain's work. This piece provides insight into the theatrical scene in late 19th-century Paris and Forain's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with sharp, observant wit.
