Yvette Guilbert, from Le Café Concert (Wittrock 19)
This lithograph by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec captures the celebrated French cabaret performer Yvette Guilbert, a subject the artist returned to repeatedly throughout his career. The work exemplifies Lautrec's distinctive printmaking style, rendered in brownish black ink with the artist's characteristic economical line work and subtle modeling that conveys both psychological presence and physical form. Published by L'Estampe Originale in 1893, this impression from the regular edition of 500 represents the artist's keen interest in documenting the vibrant personalities of Parisian entertainment culture during the Belle Époque.
