Promenade (Promenoir)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch showing a group of people, with the upper part of their bodies depicted. In the foreground, a man on the right wears a coat with buttons and a flower pinned to his lapel, and he is donning a hat with a feather. He is standing with his hands partially in his pockets. Beside him, a woman with a feathered headpiece and a dress with a high collar and frilled details around the neck and shoulders stands slightly facing him. To their left, another man is shown in profile, wearing a top hat and holding what appears to be a stick or cane. Behind them, more individuals are faintly illustrated, wearing hats and gowns. The background shows an indistinct interior scene. The sketch is rendered in a loose, almost unfinished manner.
