The Little Errand-Girl (Le petit trottin) is a 1893 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image shows a black-and-white drawing of a woman and a man. The woman is wearing a dress and has her hair pulled back. The man is wearing a hat and a coat. There are words written in French above and below them. The drawing is done in a simple style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The words written above the figures appear to be the title of the piece, while those below may be the artist's signature or a description of the work. This piece is an example of lithography, a technique used by artists like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
