About this work

This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, her head tilted slightly. Her hair is drawn in quick, loose lines, and her expression looks relaxed but a little off-kilter. The background is barely there—just a few faint marks to suggest a wall and a small box on the table. The artist didn’t bother with perfect details. Instead, the lines feel hurried, like they were drawn fast. This sketch is one of many Toulouse-Lautrec made of the singer Yvette Guilbert. Next, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) to see more of his quick, lively sketches.
