HENRI DE TOULOUSE LAUTREC - LITHOGRAPH FROM THE SEIRES "ELLES"
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
Woman at Her Toilette, from the series Elles, 1896
Lithograph
Dimensions: 60 × 49 cm
Lithograph belonging to Lautrec’s celebrated Elles series, which portrays women in the private spaces of brothels. Rather than focusing on eroticism, Lautrec captured their quiet, everyday routines with intimacy and empathy. Here, a woman bends over a washbasin, her body rendered in fluid lines that emphasize both her physical presence and the ordinariness of the moment.
By highlighting gestures of self-care, Lautrec dignifies the lives of these women, offering a rare and compassionate view that challenged the stereotypes of his time.
