1898
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Yvette Guilbert: Chanson Ancienne is a 1898 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman with a big hat and a bow, sitting sideways. Her face is mostly hidden by the hat’s brim, but you can see her eyes and a faint smile. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast—her hands and the chair look almost scribbled in. The artist focused on movement and quick strokes, not perfect details. This style was common in Paris nightlife sketches. Next, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) for more sketches like this.
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.
