Sketch (Croquis) 1898

This quick sketch by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, titled "Sketch (Croquis)," is a prime example of the artist's signature style. The 1898 work depicts a man and a woman, both rendered with a bold, graphic approach that captures the essence of their form. Despite its simple lines and gestural strokes, the drawing conveys a sense of dynamism and immediacy. Lautrec, known for his portrayals of Parisian life, was fascinated by the human figure and often used quick sketches like this to capture fleeting moments. This "Croquis" offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with capturing the essence of his subjects in a few swift lines.
