Raphaël; Salomé

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures standing next to promotional text. The left side features a figure in profile wearing a high collared coat and top hat. On the right side, another figure is depicted frontally with a similar collar but without defined facial features. Between them, there is printed text promoting a performance of Oscar Wilde's "Salomé" and an edition of "l'Œuvre." The background is sparse with minimal lines. The style is characterized by loose line work akin to sketches by artists like Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
