At the Bar Picton, Rue Scribe 1896

"At the Bar Picton, Rue Scribe" is a charcoal drawing created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1896. It depicts a scene inside the Parisian bar, Bar Picton, located on Rue Scribe. The drawing features a man in a top hat seated at the bar, with a woman in a large hat sitting behind him, with her back to the viewer, seemingly engaged in a conversation. This work, now in the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, France, reflects Lautrec's fascination with the Parisian nightlife and the social dynamics within its establishments. The artist's signature, 'TL,' is visible in the lower right corner. This drawing is a classic example of Lautrec's distinctive style, which is characterized by bold lines, exaggerated proportions, and a focus on capturing the energy and atmosphere of his subjects.
