Subra of the Opera? (Subra, de l'opéra?)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person from the waist up, depicted in profile with their head turned upwards to the right. The person has a pointed nose, closed lips, and focused eyes. Their hair is styled back in a bun or updo. The clothing is draped over one shoulder. Around them are sketch lines suggesting a column with carvings and a distant landscape or arch-like structure. The background includes architectural elements, adding depth to the image with minimal details focused on line work.
