Snobism 1895

"Snobism," created in 1895 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, is a pen-and-ink drawing that captures the essence of Parisian social life. The artist, known for his depictions of the Belle Époque, presents a scene in a cafe, likely one frequented by the upper-class. With simplified lines, Lautrec emphasizes the figure of a man in a top hat, standing out from the crowd, symbolizing the exclusivity of the Parisian elite. The casual, sketched style is characteristic of Lautrec's work and adds a sense of immediacy to the scene.
