The Small Pony from Calmese (Le petit poney de Calmèse) is a 1899 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a small horse standing still, its head turned slightly to the side. The lines are loose and quick, like a hasty drawing. In the background, there’s a faint outline of a building and a tiny figure on the ground. The artist used a simple brown ink on light paper, giving it a rough, unfinished look. This style was common in quick studies or practice sketches. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
