Frauenkopf in Dreiviertelansicht c. 1890 - 1895

"Frauenkopf in Dreiviertelansicht" (Head of a Woman in Three-Quarter View) is a pencil drawing by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. This sketch, housed at the Städel Museum, showcases Lautrec's mastery of capturing expressive gestures through minimal lines. The drawing's subject, a woman's head turned slightly, is rendered with a focus on the contours of the face, highlighting the distinctive features and revealing a fleeting moment of emotion. The work reflects Lautrec's characteristic style, evident in his bold strokes and simplified forms, and is a testament to his ability to convey depth and character in a seemingly effortless manner.
