At the Picton Bar, rue Scribe (Au bar Picton, rue Scribe)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The drawing shows three people seated at a bar. The central figure is a woman seen from the back, leaning slightly towards the bar. Her hair is up, and she wears a dress with puffed sleeves and a fitted bodice. She holds a glass at the bar. To her left, a man in profile wears a dark overcoat, top hat, and holds a cigar. To her right, another man with a bowler hat looks towards the woman. The background features a window with partially legible text, suggesting a bar or cafe setting.
