Mlle. Lender and Baron (Mlle. Lender et Baron)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch showing the upper bodies of two individuals. The person on the left is positioned slightly in profile and appears to be facing the person on the right. This person has a leaning posture with a large top hat on their head. The second person, located to the right, is also shown primarily from the upper torso upwards, and their head is slightly tilted. They have distinct facial features with eyes prominently drawn and lips pursed. Their hair is styled with an elaborate adornment that fans upwards and outwards. The clothing of the person on the right appears to be detailed with broad shoulders and possibly a high neckline. The person on the left is holding a cane. The sketched background is minimal, comprised mostly of shading behind the subjects and extending to the upper right, with several indistinct markings that suggest texture but do not depict specific objects.
