About the piece

Painted in 1886, this work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the vibrant energy and behind-the-scenes atmosphere of the theater. Using a palette of soft greens and warm yellows, Lautrec employs an asymmetric composition that places the viewer in the wings, peering past stage scenery at the dancers in motion on the wooden floorboards.
