About this work

This sketch shows a woman in profile, her head tilted slightly as she looks away. She’s dressed in a simple, flowing outfit with one arm bent at the elbow. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The name *Yvette Guilbert* is written in bold letters above the drawing, and the artist’s name, *Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec*, is signed below. The paper has a greenish tint, and the whole thing feels like a snapshot of a moment. If you like this style, check out more about lithography.
