Bust of Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender (Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, en buste) is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman’s head and shoulders in profile, her face turned slightly away. She wears a bright red hat with a wide brim and a light green dress with dark blue polka dots. The background is a mix of swirling yellow and gray patterns, giving the whole piece a loose, sketchy feel. The artist used bold colors and rough lines to capture her likeness, making the image feel lively and quick. The hat’s red stands out against the softer tones of her face and clothes.
