About the piece

Painted in 1884, this early work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the intense presence of the model Carmen Gaudin. The portrait is characterized by its bold use of color in the subject's hair contrasted with the dark, painterly tones of her dress and the background, showcasing Lautrec's psychological depth and developing Impressionist technique.
