Lender and Lavalliere in "Le fils de l'Aretin" (Lender et Lavallière dans "Le fils de l'Arétin") is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph depicts two women, Lender and Lavalliere, in a scene from "Le fils de l'Aretin". The woman on the left is shown in profile, while the woman on the right faces forward. Both are dressed in dark, elaborate costumes, with the woman on the right wearing a hat and holding a fan. The image is rendered in a range of dark tones, with subtle gradations of light and shadow. The overall effect is one of dramatic intensity, with the two women taking center stage. For more on the artist behind this work, explore the paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de.
