A colour lithograph. A woman with red hair and a black plumed hat, dressed in black, raises opera glasses to her eyes from within a red theatre box; the pale profile of a second figure appears cropped at the left edge. Below the box front, a gilded mask ornament with flowing gold ribbons decorates the curving red-and-gold balustrade. The artist’s monogram sits at the upper right against the red curtain.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) made the poster an art form. From 1891 his lithographs for the Moulin Rouge, Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril and the Divan Japonais turned Montmartre’s performers into silhouettes and flat planes of colour learned from Japanese prints, and they were pasted across Paris by the thousand. He drew the cabarets, circuses and brothels of the city with unsentimental affection. His prints are held by the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Museum of Modern Art.
