Ultime Ballade 1893

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Ultime Ballade" is a striking black and white lithograph, created in 1893. The artwork depicts a solitary figure in a hat, possibly a man, riding a horse. The figure is silhouetted against a background of buildings and a fence, with the composition emphasizing the stark contrast of light and dark. Toulouse-Lautrec's unique style, characterized by bold lines and simplified forms, is evident in this piece, reflecting his interest in capturing the essence of Parisian life. The lithograph is a testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's skill in utilizing a limited color palette to convey depth and emotion.
