Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Femme couchée, réveil (Sleeping Woman, Awakening), from Elles

A masterful lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, this intimate work captures a woman in a moment of quiet vulnerability as she awakens from sleep. Rendered in a subtle olive green palette, Lautrec's assured, fluid lines convey both the softness of the figure and the rumpled textiles surrounding her. Part of his celebrated *Elles* series, the print reflects Lautrec's sympathetic and unflinching observation of women in private, unguarded moments.
