This poster shows a plump man in a tuxedo sitting on a couch, holding a tiny glass. Next to him, a small dog sits on the floor, looking up. The background is simple, with a lamp and some text at the top. The drawing is bold and flat, with thick black lines and no shading. The title at the top reads *Les Vieilles Histoires: Sagesse*, which means "Old Stories: Wisdom." The text below hints this was for a piano piece by someone named Goudezki. Look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this poster in person.
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.
