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 side profile, her head tilted slightly back. Her hair is pulled up, and her face is turned toward the left. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick sketch. The artist focused on capturing her posture and movement, not details. The olive-green tone gives it a faded, sketchy feel. Look up lithography to see how this printmaking technique works.
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.
