May Belfort 1898

"May Belfort," a lithograph created in 1898 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, portrays a reclining woman with a striking expression. Lautrec's signature style is apparent in the use of bold lines and exaggerated features, capturing the essence of the Belle Epoque era in Paris. The work, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the artistic movement of the time, capturing the essence of Parisian nightlife and the world of cabaret performers. This lithograph is a testament to Lautrec's mastery of capturing individual personality and movement, and it is a fascinating example of his unique visual language.
