Subject
Poster for the performance of the operetta Frasquita by Franz Lehar at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in May 1933, featuring the exceptional Spanish mezzo-soprano, Conchita Supervia, in the role of Frasquita. The original piece was slightly adapted for the Opéra-Comique's venue, both in the libretto and the music. The casting, voice, and temperament of Conchita Supervia left an unforgettable memory in the collective consciousness.

Description:
A Spanish dancer. After a first color sketch, Cappiello refines his drawing on tracing paper with a pencil.
