About the piece
Painted in 1886, this oil study by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures a clown in profile with a characteristically bold and economical use of line. The figure is rendered in cool whites and greys against a warm, raw support, epitomizing the artist's fascination with the performers and subcultures of Parisian nightlife.
