Yvette Guilbert: Dans la glu is a 1898 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a woman lying back on a couch, her head tilted to one side. Her hair is messy, and she’s wearing a loose dress that’s half-off her shoulder. The lines are quick and scratchy, like the artist barely had time to finish. The background looks like a plain wall with a window, but it’s barely there—just a few quick marks. The focus is all on the woman’s relaxed pose and the rough, sketchy style. If you like this loose, fast style, look up Impressionism.
