Woman with a Tray (Femme au plateau) is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows two people sitting at a small table. One person, a woman with curly hair, holds a tray with a drink and a cup. The other person leans back, looking relaxed. The lines are loose and quick, like they were drawn fast. The artist used a dry, scratchy style that feels almost like a quick sketch. This was made using a printing method called lithography, where the image is drawn on a flat stone. Check out how lithography works next.
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.
