Miss Loïe Fuller is a 1893 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a swirling dancer in a dark, smoky space. Her arms stretch out in wide, flowing lines, and her skirt flares around her in a blur of colors—red, blue, and gold. The background is mostly shadowy, with just a hint of light on her face and the edges of her movement. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to show motion, almost like the dancer is spinning too fast to see clearly. This print was made using a process called lithography, where the image is drawn directly on a smooth stone. Check out lithography to see how artists like this one made prints.
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.
