Le secret is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows an older person sitting on a bench, wrapped in a coat, holding a cane. A small cat sits nearby, looking up. Behind them, a stone wall and a streetlamp are drawn in loose lines. The scene feels quiet and a little lonely. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to show movement and mood. The lines are rough, almost like a quick note instead of a finished drawing. If you like this style, try looking up 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.
