1882
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Yvette Guilbert: Linger, Longer, Loo is a 1882 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, flowing dress holding a fan up to her face. Her hair is pulled back, and she’s leaning forward slightly, looking playful. The lines are simple and quick, with no small details—just bold shapes and shadows. The artist focused on movement and attitude over perfect realism. The fan blocks her face, making her expression mysterious. This style was popular in Parisian cabarets at the time.
