Folies-Bergere: The Censors of M. Prudhomme (Folies-Bergère: Les pudeurs de M. Prudhomme)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people in a dynamic full-body scene. Two women are dressed in light-colored garments with dark collars and styled hair. They are dancing with a man wearing a suit and bow tie, leaning backwards. In the background, there is a standing figure that appears almost ghostly, to the left. The setting is a wooden floor with a textured and shaded background, giving a sense of a dim interior space. The figures are illustrated in a sketch-like manner.
