Young Routy 1882

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's *Young Routy* (1882) depicts a young man in a straw hat and checkered shirt, captured in a simple yet expressive manner. The painting, now housed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, reflects the artist's fascination with the ordinary people of his time. The subject's melancholic gaze and the loose, almost impressionistic brushstrokes add to the work's captivating character, embodying Toulouse-Lautrec's signature style of capturing the essence of his subjects.
