Collection Online as of July 10, 2026

A square print in black ink on off-white paper depicts a dense crowd of stylized figures with light skin, elongated necks, and simplified facial features. Arranged in horizontal rows, five foreground figures face forward, including three men in dark suits and two women in pale dresses. Behind them, tiers of people fill the composition. Shading is created with fine, hatched lines. Below, handwritten inscriptions read "14/30" and "La comedie" on our right.
