Lautrec’s interest in theater began in 1893 and he was especially fond of the ThÈ‚tre Libre directed by his friend AndrÈ Antoine. The image is somewhat related to an earlier painting of Lautrec, which showed a scene in the Rue de Moulin brothel. This experimental theater’s audience was necessarily limited: "The only people who could attend [Antoine’s] plays were the two-hundred patrons who bought season tickets. Naturally, they included the Èlite of the intellectual avant-garde” (Frey, p. 368).
