Mary Hamilton, from Le Café Concert (Wittrock 21)

This 1893 lithograph by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec depicts Mary Hamilton, a performer from the Parisian café concert scene that fascinated the artist throughout his career. Printed in a subtle light olive-green on wove paper, the work exemplifies Lautrec's characteristic style of capturing the personalities of entertainers with economical line work and psychological immediacy. Part of the regular edition of 500 prints published by L'Estampe Originale, this impression reflects the artist's enduring interest in the demimonde and popular entertainment venues of Belle Époque Paris.
