Französische Grafik 1893–1895, 1893

This is a painting of a theater scene viewed from an elevated position. The composition features a view of a stage from behind an audience. The stage is populated by dancers dressed in white tutus, their poses suggesting movement as they perform. In the foreground, a few members of the audience are seen from behind, sitting in chairs that are arranged in a curved formation. The orchestra is visible to the right, with musicians playing their instruments, while the conductor energetically directs the performance. The colors used include green, yellow, and red, giving the scene a vibrant atmosphere. The style is reminiscent of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife and performance settings.
