Prospectus Programme de l'Oeuvre is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a folded sheet with a black-and-white drawing of a dimly lit room. The walls are covered in swirling lines and shapes that look like tangled wires or pipes. A single lightbulb hangs from the ceiling, casting a faint glow over the chaotic scene. The text at the bottom reads *"L'Œuvre"* and lists an address in Paris. The drawing is rough and sketchy, almost like a quick sketch rather than a polished work. It’s part of a set of prints made in 1895, where artists experimented with bold, raw styles. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
