Terror of Grenelle (La terreur de Grenelle)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows three individuals in a room. The person on the left is illustrated from the mid-torso upwards, wearing a cap and facing away, showing only a partial side profile with short hair. To the right, two more persons are seated, shown from a side angle. They have distinctive facial profiles with prominent noses and individualized hairstyles; one appears to have a bun or topknot. The individuals' clothing is suggested with simple lines, contributing to their form without intricate details, one wearing a hat. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. In the background, a suggestion of vertical lines represents paneling or wall details.
