Poster for the 7th exhibition of the Salon des 100

Frédéric-Auguste Cazals, a close friend of Verlaine, often depicted the poet in his work. In this poster, Paul Verlaine observes a drawing by Cazals while Jean Moréas examines the exhibited works. Through monocles, spectacles, and attentive gazes, the composition celebrates the art of observation and the importance of observation in the visual arts.
