The Fine Printmaker Adolphe Albert (Le bon graveur - Adolphe Albert) is a 1898 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph on wove paper features a portrait of Adolphe Albert, a fine printmaker. The subject is depicted wearing a hat and coat, with his hands clasped together in front of him. The background is dark, with vertical lines suggesting a wall or other structure. The image is rendered in a range of grays, with some darker shading on the subject's face and clothing. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of texture and depth in the image.
