About MeIn Paris, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec moved in the bohemian world of the Montmartre, in which the actresses and singers became the subject of his graphic work. He made numerous rapid sketches of them during performances and these were later worked up into prints.

Here, Toulouse-Lautrec has instantly captured Yvette Guilbert's startling appearence in the stark stage lights of the theatre.
