For You (Pour toi!...) is a 1893 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two men playing music together. One man in the front holds a long brass instrument, maybe a trombone, and looks focused. Behind him, another man plays a stringed instrument, like a violin, with a big, expressive face. The drawing is rough and sketchy, with bold lines and no smooth shading. It feels like it was drawn quickly, almost like a snapshot of a moment. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
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.
