Dominant colour
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 sitting sideways, her body turned away but her head tilted slightly toward us. Her hair is drawn in loose, quick lines, and her face has a sharp, expressive look. The background is just a plain, light-colored page—no extra details, just the focus on her. The artist used a light olive-green color, almost like ink on paper. Her posture looks relaxed but a bit tense, like she’s holding still for a moment. The lines are sketchy, not smooth, giving it a raw, unfinished feel.

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.
