1893
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Café-concert: Edmée Lescot is a 1893 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman singing on a small stage. The room is dark. People sit at tables, watching. The singer wears a white dress with a black bow. Toulouse-Lautrec painted this in 1893. He loved nightlife scenes. The light hits the singer’s face. The rest fades into shadow. See how the edges blur? That’s called *sfumato*. It softens the scene. Look up Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) next.
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.
