Cléo de Mérode

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image features a sketched portrait of a seated woman in profile, facing to the right. She has intricate facial features with a pronounced nose and closed lips. Her hair is detailed and styled elaborately. She wears a large fur or feather garment on her shoulders. In the background, there are two faintly sketched figures at a table, with one holding a piece of paper. Soft background lines suggest curtains or walls.
