Debauchery (Débauche) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This poster shows a reclining woman with long, loose hair and a relaxed pose. She’s lying on a red background, one arm stretched out, the other resting on her head. Her body is drawn in quick, sketchy lines, and the colors are flat and bold—mostly red, beige, and blue. The text at the top reads *"Catalogue d’Affiches artistiques"* and names a Paris street, hinting this was for an art dealer’s catalog. The loose, expressive style fits the way artists like Lautrec worked fast. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
