Yvette Guilbert is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a woman with a sharp face and a dark, dramatic expression, framed by a loose, wavy hairstyle. She’s wearing a simple, dark dress with a high collar, and her hands rest on her lap. The background is plain, with just a faint outline of a chair and some text on the wall. The artist used a single olive-green color, giving the whole piece a flat, almost sketchy look. The woman’s face is the main focus, with bold lines and shadows that make her features stand out. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
