For Irène Henry, an artist who is completely forgotten today, Ibels designed his best "Nabis style" poster. He uses the blank space of the paper to delineate the stage on which the singer appears in profile. He fills the rest of the image with a pure, Nabis rendering in green, blue and violet of the public and the gardens of the Champs Elysée where the concert was held. DFP-II 473, Reims 748, Café-Concert 77.
