Achetez mes belles violettes

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a drawing of a woman from the waist up. She is leaning slightly forward, showing her facial features and short, curled hair. She is wearing a high-collared top, possibly a blouse or a jacket, with a textured fabric like silk or satin. She has a dark scarf around her neck and is holding a basket with indistinct objects. In the background, there are outlines resembling a wheel and shapes reminiscent of a carriage or vehicle, along with sparse surroundings that may suggest buildings or structures.
