HENRI DE TOULOUSE LAUTREC - "ELLES" SUITES OF POCHOIR LITHOGRAPHS
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
Elles, 1896
Suite of pochoir lithographs
Dimensions: 60 × 49 cm
The Elles series, published in 1896, is one of Toulouse-Lautrec’s most intimate and revealing bodies of work. Comprising twelve lithographs and a cover, it depicts the daily lives of women in Parisian brothels—not in moments of spectacle, but in their private routines: waking, bathing, dressing, and resting.
With soft lines, muted tones, and a compassionate gaze, Lautrec strips away the stereotypes of the courtesan to portray women with humanity and dignity. Far from caricature, Elles stands as a sensitive testimony to intimacy and the quiet beauty of everyday life.
