1893
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Jane Avril is a 1893 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a woman with a big hat and flowing skirt, twirling in a circle. Her face is blurred, and her arms stretch out as she spins. The background is simple—just a few wavy lines and a cloud shape above. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show movement, almost like the figure is dancing. The hat is the most detailed part, with a feather sticking up. Next, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) for more of his bold, expressive drawings.
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.
