Yvette Guilbert? is a 1896 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face in profile, her hair pulled back. She’s wearing a dark hat with a wide brim, and her hand rests on her chin. The background is loose, sketchy lines—like trees or buildings fading into the distance. The artist used quick, rough strokes to suggest movement and mood. The paper looks worn, almost like it was worked on fast. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
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.
