Young woman at a table, ‘Poudre de riz’ 

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Young Woman at a Table, ‘Poudre de riz’" is a captivating portrait of a woman in a Parisian setting. The artist, renowned for his depictions of Parisian nightlife and the Belle Époque era, captures the subject with a striking intensity. This painting is a notable example of Lautrec's use of bold colors, particularly the vibrant red of the powder box, which adds a striking focal point to the composition. The woman's stoic expression and the presence of the powder box suggest an air of elegance and sophistication associated with the Parisian social scene of the late 19th century.
