Paula Brébion is a 1893 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s side view, her arm raised as if reaching up. Her hair is pulled back, and her body is drawn in loose, quick lines. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her shape. The drawing feels alive but rough—like it was made fast, with just enough detail to show movement. The artist left out small things, like fingers or toes, to keep it simple.

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.
