New Year's Greeting (Le compliment du jour de l'an) is a 1897 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph features a nude woman standing in front of a mirror, with her back to the viewer. She is dressed in a hat and holds a parasol in her right hand. The woman's reflection is visible in the mirror, and she appears to be adjusting her hat. The background of the image is a simple, monochromatic tone. The woman's pose and expression suggest a sense of confidence and self-assurance. The use of a mirror as a prop adds an element of introspection and self-reflection to the image.
