About the piece

Anquetin captures the iconic cabaret singer Yvette Guilbert in this 1893 oil portrait, part of the collection at the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec. The piece is characterized by its expressive brushwork and a sophisticated palette of deep blues and muted grays, embodying the artistic spirit of late 19th-century Paris.
