Ivan Vazov, Bulgaria.

This is a theatrical poster with a dark green background and bold, graphic artwork. At the top, in Cyrillic text, it reads “Иван Вазов” and “Чичовци,” with “Сатиричен театър” written along the side, indicating it is a production of “Chichovtsi” by Ivan Vazov at the Satirical Theatre.
The central image shows two animals arranged vertically. At the top is a large yellow wolf, drawn in a stylized, graphic manner with black detailing. Its mouth is open, showing sharp teeth, and its front paws are raised with visible claws. The wolf’s body is angular and expressive, giving it a dynamic, dramatic appearance.
Below the wolf is a sheep’s head, rendered in a contrasting style with tightly curled wool patterns. The sheep appears calm and passive compared to the aggressive posture of the wolf above. Between the two animals is a decorative shield-like shape filled with striped and wavy patterns in red, cream, and black, along with a red-and-green spiral motif at the center.
The poster uses a limited color palette—mainly green, yellow, red, black, and cream—and features strong outlines and flat areas of color typical of mid-20th-century Eastern European graphic design.
Artist: Ludmil Chehlarov was a pivotal figure in the development of Bulgarian poster art during the socialist era. His designs are celebrated for their high contrast, bold use of typography, and a sharp, intellectual wit that captured the essence of the satirical productions staged at the State Satirical Theater.
