ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
At the Concert (Au concert) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This poster shows two people sitting side by side, watching something off to the left. The woman wears a wide-brimmed hat and a light dress, while the man has a dark top hat and a jacket with a yellow pin. Their faces are simple, almost sketchy, with quick brushstrokes. The colors are bold—bright reds, blacks, and pinks—making the scene feel lively. The artist used thick lines and flat areas of color, which gives it a rough, fast look. Want to see more like this?
