Last Ballad (Ultime ballade)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat and draped cloak set against an abstract urban background. The image uses strong contrasts of black and white, creating a silhouetted figure at the center. The surrounding environment features architectural elements like buildings and fences, rendered in a stylized manner. The lines are bold and graphic, adding a sense of movement to the composition.
