The Milliner (La Modiste - Renée Vert) is a 1893 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a long dress holding a hat with a flower on it. She’s standing near a menu with French food names like "saucisson" and "Bordeaux." The drawing is simple and quick, with loose lines. The menu lists dishes and drinks, ending with "on se mettra à table à 8 heures," which means "we will sit down at 8 o’clock." This suggests a fancy dinner setting. Look up lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
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.
