1882

Man and Woman is a 1882 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a tall, loose-limbed woman standing with one hand on her hip. She’s barefoot, wearing a simple dress that barely covers her knees. Behind her, a smaller figure—maybe a man—is bent over, reaching up toward her leg. The lines are quick and wobbly, like the artist drew fast. The woman’s pose looks confident, but the sketch feels unfinished, almost like a quick study. The artist used simple black lines on a light background, with no shading or color.

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.
