Woman with Gloves (Honorine Platzer) 1891

"Woman with Gloves (Honorine Platzer)" is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, created in 1891. This portrait depicts Honorine Platzer, a Parisian courtesan, seated outdoors in a garden setting. Lautrec's signature style, characterized by bold lines and flattened forms, is evident in the elongated figure and the use of vibrant, contrasting colors. The painting, now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, captures the essence of late 19th-century Parisian society, where social circles intertwined with the world of entertainment.
