Luce Myres in Profile (Luce Myrès, de profil) is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face turned slightly away, her hair pulled back into a loose bun. The lines are quick and simple, almost like a rough drawing. Her dress is just a few strokes—no fancy details. The artist used a smooth, olive-green background to keep focus on the face. It looks like a quick study, maybe done fast to capture her expression.
