From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Motorist (L'automobiliste) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a hat and glasses, sitting on a bench beside a road. Behind him, a horse-drawn cart rolls past, and a dog runs off to the side. The lines are quick and rough, like a fast drawing. The artist focused on movement and everyday life, using loose strokes to show speed. This was made in 1896 as a lithograph, meaning it was printed from a stone. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
