Ducarre aux ambassadeurs is a 1893 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men sitting close together on a bench. One has a big beard and a wide-brimmed hat, leaning in like he’s listening hard. The other man, smaller and younger, holds a hat in his hands and looks down. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried drawing. The artist focused on their faces and posture to show how one man is leaning in to talk—or maybe argue—with the other. The background is plain, so all the attention stays on them. If you like this style, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) for more sketches 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.
