This is a drawing of a theater program for a soirée on May 28, 1889. The program features decorative elements such as an angelic figure with a trumpet at the top, accompanied by scrolls. The program lists theater performances including "Assassin!" by Jean Gascogne, "La joie perdue" by Alfred de Musset, and "L’Accusé" by Edouard Pailleron. It highlights "Gringoire," a comedy in one act in verse by Théodore de Banville. Below the text are illustrations of a pastoral scene with a seated figure holding a lyre next to animals, such as a stag and dogs. To the right are figures on horseback. The design evokes a sophisticated and artistic ambiance for the theater event.
