Yvette Guilbert is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s head and shoulders turned slightly to the side, her hair pulled back. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried sketch. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the ink is a single olive-green color. The artist focused on capturing movement and personality, not perfect details. The sketch feels alive, almost like a quick snapshot. If you like this style, check out lithography next.
