The composition features a dramatically cropped female portrait rendered in layered tones of cream, ochre, brown and black, with vivid blue-green eyes and a sweeping black hat. Bold geometric framing and restrained typography give the work a sophisticated early-1990s graphic quality with echoes of fashion illustration, theatrical design and modern portraiture.
The upper inscription reads “TEATRO FRANK LLOYD,” while the applied lower panel reads “TEATRO FRANK LLOYD / TEMPORADA VERANO / 1993.”
Unlike a commercially printed theater poster, the central image is individually hand painted, making this a unique original work rather than an editioned print.
Signed “Campbell” and dated 1993 at lower right. The artist has not been definitively identified.
