Hangover 1889

"Hangover" is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a French Post-Impressionist artist known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife. This artwork portrays a woman seated at a table in a bar, her posture slumped and her gaze distant. The empty glass and partially-filled wine bottle suggest the aftermath of a night of heavy drinking, a common theme in Lautrec's work. The painting's subdued colors and expressive brushstrokes create a sense of melancholy and loneliness, characteristic of his signature style. The artwork is currently on display at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, MA.
