Emilienne d'Alençon is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph in black depicts a woman sitting in a chair, facing the viewer. She is dressed in a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline and a hat adorned with feathers. Her right hand rests on her lap, while her left hand holds a parasol. The background is a simple interior setting. The woman's facial expression is subtle, and her posture conveys a sense of elegance. The artist's use of bold lines and shading creates a striking contrast between the subject and the background. The lithograph is a beautiful example of Toulouse-Lautrec's work, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
