At the Hanneton (Au Hanneton) is a 1898 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet street scene with two people walking on a sidewalk. One person is holding a cane, and the other has a hat pulled low. A dog sits on the left side, looking up. The buildings have simple lines, and the whole image feels rough and sketchy, like it was drawn quickly. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets them draw directly on stone before printing. This piece is part of a series about Parisian life. Look up lithography to see how it works.
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.
