Elles: Woman Carrying a Tray, Mme. Baron and Mlle. Popo is a 1896 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two women in a dimly lit room. One sits at a table, holding a small tray with a cup and saucer. The other leans back on a couch, her arm stretched out. The lines are loose and quick, with soft shading but no fine details. Notice how the artist barely fills in the shapes—just enough to suggest clothes, faces, and furniture. The drawing feels more like a quick note than a polished picture. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
This print belongs to a portfolio published by the dealer Gustave Pellet, who created a special luxury paper that featured a watermark of his initials.
