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 face and upper body in a loose, sketchy line. Her hair is pulled back, and she wears a dark collar. The background is plain, with no extra details—just her profile turned slightly away. The drawing looks like it was made fast, with quick strokes that leave some blank paper showing. The olive-green color gives it a faded, old-book feel. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
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.
