The First Vendor of Jourdan and Brown (Le premier vendeur de Jourdan et Brown) is a 1897 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph in olive green depicts a man in a long coat and hat, with his back to the viewer, standing alongside another man in a plaid suit and hat. The man in the plaid suit is facing the viewer, with his head turned slightly to the side. The background is a simple, muted color. The artist's use of bold lines and simple shapes creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene. The contrast between the two men's clothing and poses adds visual interest to the composition. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this work, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing everyday scenes with a unique perspective.
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.
