Anna Held and Baldy (Anna Held et Baldy)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a woman's torso in a side-facing pose, with her face turned slightly to the left. Her facial features are simple, and she has expressive, voluminous hair. She wears what appears to be an off-the-shoulder dress and holds an upright object. To her left is another figure with a helmet or cap, and less defined facial features, possibly a mask. The background is lightly shaded and abstract.
