L'hareng saur 1895

"L'hareng saur" is a lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec created in 1895, capturing a sailor standing on a boat deck in a sketchy and impressionistic style. The sailor's bare feet and informal pose suggest a casual moment of life at sea, while the quick lines and muted tones give the work a sense of urgency and movement. This lithograph embodies the artist's signature style, combining his interest in the everyday life of working-class Parisians with his skillful use of line and form. Toulouse-Lautrec's unique approach to depicting people and places within a single moment has made his works enduringly popular with art enthusiasts.
