Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Yvette Guilbert (from Le Café Concert)" is a striking lithograph created in 1893, showcasing the artist's signature style of capturing the essence of Parisian nightlife. This particular piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a close-up profile of the renowned singer Yvette Guilbert, known for her dramatic performances.
