1895
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Mlle. Pois Vert 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 in profile, her hair pulled back and tied with a bow. The lines are loose and quick, like a sketch made fast. The background is plain, with just a hint of her shoulder and a faint outline of a chair arm. The artist used a green-black color that looks almost like ink. It’s simple but full of character—no extra details, just the face and a few bold strokes. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
