Ce que dit la pluie

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a windy scene with a figure holding an umbrella being blown by the wind. The lines suggest motion, with the skirt of the figure and the umbrella caught in the gusts. A small dog is also present, bracing against the wind. The composition conveys movement and blustery weather, with a light and impressionistic style capturing the essence of the scene with minimal detail.
