Émilie c. late 1890s

"Émilie" is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a French artist known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife and his distinctive style. The artwork, dated to the late 1890s, features a woman named Émilie, a friend of Lautrec's, in a profile view, wearing a large hat and a dress, in a landscape setting with a rider on horseback in the background. Lautrec's use of color, line, and form creates a sense of movement and energy in the composition. His paintings often depict figures in unconventional poses and perspectives, capturing the essence of Parisian life and its social dynamics.
