From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Soudais Deposition (Déposition Soudais) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small group of people sitting at a table, looking down. One person holds a cup, another rests their chin on their hand. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The background is simple, just a wall and a few objects on a shelf. The artist used light shading to show folds in clothing and faces. It feels like a quick snapshot of a moment, not a finished picture. 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.
