Le Fou

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a man from the waist up in a three-quarter profile. He has distinct features, including a pointed nose and a spiky hairstyle, suggesting short, unruly hair. The man is wearing a long coat and has his arms crossed in front of his chest. In the background, there is a faint outline of a building facade with vertical elements. Another figure, drawn in profile view with a hat, is walking away on the left side. The background is minimalistic.
