Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts the upper body of two individuals in a stylized, illustrated format. The person on the left is shown in profile, facing to the right. They have short, wavy hair and are wearing a garment with a high collar and loose sleeves. The person on the right is shown more from the back, wearing a top hat and an overcoat, with only the lower portion of their face visible, including a mustache. This individual wears checkered pants. The background is blank, focusing attention on the accompanying text which reads "le petit trottin paroles de achille Melandri musique de désiré Dihau." The illustration is black on a white background with no additional scenery or objects.
