Rosmersholm; Le Gage is a 1897 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic stage scene with actors in mid-action. One person sits at a desk, another stands with arms raised, and a third leans dramatically on a table. In the background, a horse and rider appear on a small platform, while a crowd of people gathers around a rocky hill. The whole scene is drawn in loose, sketchy lines with no color. The text at the bottom names two plays: *Rosmersholm* by Henrik Ibsen and *Le Gage* by M. Frantz-Jourdain. This was likely a program cover for a theater season in Paris. Next, look up 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.
