The Chatelaine or the Tocsin is a 1895 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a long dress standing in a dimly lit forest. A wolf sits near her feet, looking up. Behind her, a moon hangs low over a distant town with a church steeple. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show the scene quickly. The lighting is soft, with shadows blending into the background. Next, check out Impressionism to see how this style played with light and movement.
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.
