About this work

A loosely brushed oil-style composition by Jean-Louis Forain, dated 1900, shows a theatre scene with dancers in feathered costumes on a stage above a dark foreground crowd of men in top hats. The muted brown and grey palette contrasts with the reddish plumage at the upper left, and a balcony rail and seated figures fill the right side.
