Carnival (Carnaval) is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a lively scene of people in costumes and masks, possibly at a carnival. The figures are dressed in elaborate attire, with some wearing hats and others holding objects. The overall mood is one of joy and revelry. In the foreground, a woman in a fancy hat and a man in a top hat are prominently featured. The woman's dress is adorned with flowers, and the man's suit is formal. The background is a blur of colors, with hints of green and red. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de, who was known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife.
