Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a partial view of a person's upper body in profile, showing the head, shoulders, and upper chest area. The individual faces to the right with a slightly elevated chin, showcasing their profile. They have short, curly hair framing the face and wear an elaborate hat with feathers or decorative elements. The eyebrows are lightly arched, and the lips are slightly parted. The clothing features fluffy or furry textures, suggesting a coat or garment with a large collar. Surrounding the central figure are faint outlines of other figures, one wearing a top hat. The background is minimal with light sketch lines and empty space, emphasizing the main subject.
