In the background, there are buildings and curved lines suggesting a countryside setting. The style features rough brushstrokes in dark and light tones on a sepia background, giving the impression of movement and texture. A rectangular block of text on the left side details a theatrical piece titled "Au delà des Forces," including cast and venue information.
