Coquelin the Elder (Coquelin aine)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person's upper body and head with an exaggerated hat curving above it. The face has sketched lines indicating a mustache, a broad smile, and squinted eyes. The person's hair or wig is suggested with curving lines. They appear to be wearing an outfit with a high collar or flowing fabric around the neck, indicated by loose, swirling lines. The background is minimal, with a few sketchy lines. The person is not wearing any visible jewelry or holding any objects. The style is loose and impressionistic, focusing on form over detail.
