Zimmerman et sa machine (Zimmerman and His Machine) is a 1895 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting features a man standing beside a bicycle, with his right hand grasping the handlebars and his left hand resting on the seat. He is dressed in dark attire, comprising a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. The background of the image is a light tan color. A notable detail in the painting is the man's posture, which conveys a sense of casualness and relaxation. His weight is shifted onto his right leg, while his left leg is slightly bent. This stance suggests that he is taking a break or pausing for a moment. The artist's use of lithography in gray on velin paper adds a unique texture and tone to the painting.
