The image is a vintage theatrical poster featuring a woman's body from the torso to above the knees. The woman is reclining with her head tilted slightly backward. Her face is not clearly visible, and she wears an ornament or jewelry on her head. She has long hair blending into the dark background. She wears a long dress with a floral pattern, a prominent neckline, and sleeves covering her arms. The background fades from a light hue at the center to a darker setting at the edges. The poster includes text on the left side detailing a theatrical production titled "Le Cuivre" associated with Le Théâtre Libre Saison in 1895-1896.
