Woman at the Tub (Femme au tub) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a bathtub, her legs bent and arms resting on the rim. The room looks simple, with a window behind her and a vase on the windowsill. The drawing is loose and quick, with lots of shading and smudged lines. The artist used a rough, sketchy style that feels more like a quick note than a finished picture. This was part of a series about everyday life, not fancy scenes. 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.
