Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body of a person who is facing forward, with their hands possibly resting in the pockets of their dark garment. The person is standing upright. They have distinctive facial features, with a prominent elongated nose and a slight smile. The hair is styled in an unusual way, with a high bun or curl on top. They are wearing a high-collared, dark outfit that contrasts with the pale background. In the background, there are sketch-like, vertical lines and an arch-like structure to the left, done in a soft, blurred manner.
