The Model Resting is a 1895 unspecified by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Post-Impressionism work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a woman reclining on a couch, her back to the viewer. She is dressed in a loose, white garment that drapes elegantly around her body. The artist has employed a range of colors, from soft pastels to deeper, richer tones, to create a sense of depth and texture. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her head tilted slightly to one side and her arm draped over the back of the couch. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of color and light, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
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.
