Yvette Guilbert is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph features a woman with a pale complexion and dark hair, dressed in a long, dark dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. Her right arm is bent at the elbow, and her hand is resting on a table or ledge. The background of the image is a warm, olive green color. The woman's facial expression is somber, and her eyes are cast downward. The overall mood of the image is one of quiet contemplation. The use of a single color, olive green, adds to the sense of simplicity and intimacy. The image invites the viewer to reflect on the woman's emotions and thoughts.
