A Spectator (Une spectatrice)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a partial view of a person's body from the shoulders up, in a side profile. The person is seated and facing towards the left. They have distinct facial features with an angular nose and neat hair styled in a low bun. The person is wearing a dark-colored hat and a high-collared garment. In the background, there is another figure crouched wearing a similar hat. The backdrop has vertically streaked patterns, suggestive of trees or curtains. The scene has a graphic, sketch-like quality with expressive lines and shading contrasts.
