Andréas was a journalist and an illustrator who only designed a few posters. While working as a journalist in Rouen in the early 1890s, he created this poster for the local Casino. It is an elegant, symbolist portrayal of female musicians, dressed in matching robes and playing for the public. Previously unrecorded.
