Why Not?...Once Is Not a Habit (Pourquoi pas?...Une fois n'est pas coutume)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of three individual busts in profile. The first individual, on the left, is a man wearing a top hat, displaying a prominent beard and mustache. The middle figure is facing the man and has short or upswept hair. The figure on the right appears to be female with a bun or updo hairstyle adorned with a feather and is wearing a high-collared garment. The background of the illustration has a light, sketchy texture.
