Man and Woman is a 1882 paint by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dotted robe standing near a bed. A man lies on his side under a blanket, his head peeking out with wild hair. The colors are flat and bright—blue walls, pink bedding, yellow slippers—with quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a new printing trick with just seven colors to keep it bold and simple. This style was popular in Paris at the time for quick, lively images. Next, check out Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri de for more of his bold, loose drawings.
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.
