La Lépreuse

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a side profile drawing of a person's upper body. The figure is depicted with their face in profile, right hand raised towards their face. The facial features include a prominent nose and defined lips, with hair pulled back. The clothing suggests drapery around the shoulders. The drawing is in a light brown color on a matching paper, with French text to the right detailing a theatrical performance titled "La Lépreuse" at Comédie-Parisienne, including roles and participants. The background is plain paper, emphasizing the sketch and accompanying text.
