Frontispiece is a 1898 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face and shoulders, drawn in quick, sketchy lines. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a high collar. Below, a small boat floats on wavy lines—maybe water? The whole thing looks like it was made fast, with loose strokes. The artist signed it in the corner, and the name looks like “Toulouse-Lautrec.” This style of drawing with ink on paper is called lithography.

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.
