Yvette Guilbert is a 1894 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a faded olive-green drawing of a woman standing sideways, her arms slightly bent. She’s holding a tall, narrow object—maybe a cane or a rolled paper—near her face. The lines are loose and sketchy, with some smudges and uneven strokes. The text beside her is in French, but it’s hard to read. The whole piece looks like it was made quickly, with a focus on movement and attitude. If you like this style, check out lithography.
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.
