1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Folder for Frontispiece of Elles is a 1896 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a long dress with wings, standing next to a top hat and a pile of clothes. The background looks like a messy room with scattered items. The word "ELLES" is written at the top, along with a small logo. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to create the image, giving it a rough, unfinished feel. This style was common in posters and illustrations of the time. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this artist’s work fits into that movement.
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.
