The Ladies in the Dining Room 

"The Ladies in the Dining Room" is a painting by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It depicts four women seated around a table, with a fifth woman's back turned to the viewer, possibly a server. The composition is a typical example of Lautrec's work, which often features figures from the Parisian nightlife, particularly those associated with cabaret and entertainment. His expressive lines, bold colors, and flattened perspectives capture the energy and vitality of the Parisian underbelly. The artwork is a testament to Lautrec's interest in depicting ordinary moments in the lives of ordinary people, often with a touch of social commentary.
