1898
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Au Hanneton is a 1898 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting at a small table in what looks like a dim café. She’s wearing a big hat and a dark coat, with her hands resting on the table. A half-empty beer mug sits in front of her, along with a basket and a few other items. The background is blurry, with just a hint of a window or door behind her. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture the scene, making it feel alive but unfinished. The lighting is soft, and the focus is on the woman’s face and the objects on the table. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
