Henri Toulouse-Lautrec
Paula Brébion, from Le Café Concert (Wittrock 20)
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's lithograph of Paula Brébion captures a performer from the vibrant café concert scene of 1890s Paris with characteristic bold lines and a limited palette of light olive-green. Created in 1893 and printed by Ancourt in an edition of 500 for the prestigious publication L'Estampe Originale, this work exemplifies Lautrec's ability to distill the essence of Parisian entertainment culture into striking graphic compositions. The print's generous margins and fine condition preserve the artist's intimate study of this influential music hall performer.
