Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is a 1890 ink by Charles Maurin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man wearing a hat and a high-collared coat. His face is turned slightly away, and he holds a lit cigarette in his right hand. The background is dark and rough, making his features stand out. The artist used a technique that creates a grainy, textured look. This was common in prints from the 1800s.
