Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, Standing 1895

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s 1895 lithograph, “Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, Standing,” depicts the famed dancer in a theatrical pose, highlighting her distinctive style. The work captures Lender's essence through the artist's signature use of bold lines and flat colors, contrasting with the delicate details of her costume and the soft tones of the background. This piece is a prime example of Lautrec’s fascination with the Parisian cabaret culture of the late 19th century.
