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 standing sideways, her body slightly hunched. Her face is turned toward us, but her features are drawn in loose, quick lines. The background is plain, with no clear details—just a faint outline of a room. The artist used a single olive-green tone, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The lines are rough and expressive, almost like a quick drawing. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like Lautrec made prints like this.
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.
