Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Charles Maurin

1898

This drypoint portrait by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec depicts Charles Maurin, a fellow artist and printmaker of the late 19th century Parisian avant garde. The work exemplifies Toulouse-Lautrec's characteristic linear style and psychological intensity, rendered through the direct, expressive mark-making inherent to the drypoint medium. The artist's use of varied line weight and selective detail creates a compelling likeness that captures both the physical features and artistic sensibility of his subject.
