Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Elles frontispice
A vibrant color lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, this frontispiece serves as the bold introductory image for his celebrated *Elles* portfolio, a series documenting the intimate daily lives of Parisian cabaret and brothel performers. Executed with Lautrec's characteristic flat planes of color and fluid, expressive line work, the composition reflects his deep familiarity with and empathy for his subjects. As the fourth and final state with letters, this impression represents the complete, published version of the work, printed on wove paper and backed with linen for preservation.
