ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Leloir and Moreno in "Les femmes savantes" (Leloir et Moreno dans "Les femmes savantes") is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two women sitting in a cozy room. One is slumped in a chair, holding a fan, while the other leans in, gesturing with her hands. Behind them, a framed portrait hangs crookedly on the wall, and a curtain frames the scene. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and mood. The loose style makes the scene feel lively, even though the women look tired or distracted. 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.
