1895
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Yahne in His Box (Yahne dans sa loge) is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman sitting in a small, box-like space, holding a fan. The lines are loose and quick, giving it a sketchy, unfinished look. The background is simple—just a plain wall and a hint of a curtain. The artist used a soft, olive-green tone, which makes the drawing feel warm and slightly faded. The woman’s face is calm, but the drawing style feels more like a quick note than a polished portrait. Next, check out how this work uses lithography.
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.
