From the collection of National Gallery of Art
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 image shows a simple line drawing of a woman standing sideways. She’s wearing a long dress and a hat with a wide brim. Her arms are slightly raised, like she’s adjusting something on her head. The background is just a plain, light green color with no extra details. The artist used a technique that lets them draw directly onto a flat stone, then press paper onto it. This makes the lines look smooth and slightly ghostly, like a shadow. Next, check out lithography to see how this printing method works.
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.
