About the piece
Painted in 1888, this energetic oil sketch on cardboard showcases Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's uncanny ability to capture the social fabric of late 19th-century Paris. The work depicts a family procession—a young girl in a shimmering white communion dress follows a man in a top hat pushing a baby carriage, while other figures trail behind. The raw cardboard background and gestural white highlights are hallmarks of the artist's modernist technique, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of the Belle Époque.
