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 twisted slightly as she leans forward. Her arms are bent, hands near her chest, and her head is tilted down, like she’s listening or adjusting something. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, with a faint olive-green tint. The artist focused on her posture and movement, not her face—just the shape of her back and shoulders. The background is barely there, just a few faint marks to suggest a space. Next, check out lithography to see how artists use this printmaking technique.
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.
