In Lautrec’s typical style, this image is focussed on the audience rather than the stage performance. The singer Yvette Guilbert, easily identified by her signature long black gloves, is positioned towards the back of the composition. The poster is dominated by the familiar figure of Jane Avril dressed elegantly in a long black dress, with a chic hat on top of her red hair. To her right, Lautrec includes his friend, the music critic Edouard Dujardin.
