HENRI DE TOULOUSE LAUTREC - FRONTISPIECE FOR THE SERIES "ELLE"
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
Frontispiece for the series "Elles", 1896
Lithograph with pochoir coloring
Dimensions: 60 × 49 cm
This lithograph served as the frontispiece to Lautrec’s celebrated Elles series, published in 1896. The portfolio presents intimate scenes of Parisian prostitutes, focusing on their daily routines rather than their public personas. Here, a woman in a dressing gown adjusts her hair, her back turned to the viewer, embodying the quiet privacy and unposed dignity that define the series.
Lautrec’s refined lines and flat planes of color highlight his mastery of lithography, while the Elles suite reflects his sympathetic portrayal of marginalized women, offering a rare, humanizing perspective in 19th-century art.
