Etoiles filantes

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two individuals standing next to each other. One person has their arm around the other. The person on the left is hunched slightly forward, with their face obscured by shadow and long hair. The person on the right is looking upward, with a partially visible face and shorter hair. Both individuals are wearing loose garments. Ironwork decorates the surroundings, possibly a balcony railing. The background features a night sky, a full moon, and a shooting star.
