Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Bartet and Mounet-Sully, in Antigone" (1893) depicts a scene from the play *Antigone*. The lithograph captures the actors, Gabrielle Réjane as Antigone and the famed tragedian, Mounet-Sully, as Creon, during a dramatic moment. The work highlights Lautrec's fascination with the Parisian theater, capturing both the performance and the individuals behind the masks. The stark contrast in the figures’ dress, light and shadow, and the dynamic pose of Réjane create a sense of tension and drama. The artwork is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
