Miss Ida Heath, English Dancer 1894

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s "Miss Ida Heath, English Dancer" is a striking 1894 lithograph depicting the dancer mid-pose, her leg extended in a graceful arabesque. The sketchy lines and subtle shading are characteristic of the artist's style, capturing the movement and energy of the subject. The background, featuring a glimpse of a stage curtain, hints at the performance space, while the emphasis remains on the dancer's athleticism and artistry. This lithograph demonstrates Lautrec’s profound understanding of and fascination with the Parisian cabaret culture.
