Three people in evening dress, a great deal of empty cream paper, and very few lines. Leonetto Cappiello (1875 to 1942) made the poster for Édouard Bourdet's four-act play La Fleur des Pois, staged at the Théâtre de la Michodière in 1932. Devambez printed it, and the imprint "Devambez, 164 Champs-Elysees, Paris" runs in the left margin.
Cappiello signed and dated the design at lower left: "Cappiello 32". He had settled in Paris in 1898.
On the poster
A blonde woman in a low-back golden-yellow gown leans toward a dark-haired man in white-tie dress, who gestures with an open hand. A second man in a black tailcoat turns away at left. The black of the tailcoats is laid in with broad strokes against the pale ground.
