1896
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, depicting Plume, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a woman in a loose, pale dress leaning against a wall, her face half-hidden by her hand. This print is part of a series Lautrec made about women in Paris brothels. He lived nearby, sketched them at rest, not posing. The lines are quick, almost like a drawing, but printed in ink. It feels private, not staged. If you like how he turns everyday moments into art, look up lithography—it’s how he made these prints.
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.
