Le Fou 1895

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's 1895 drawing "Le Fou" depicts a man in profile, his face obscured by a shadow, standing in a simple pose. The stark lines of the drawing, which utilize pen and ink on paper, are reminiscent of Lautrec's signature style that often focused on the subjects of Parisian nightlife and marginal figures. The piece reflects Lautrec's fascination with the overlooked and the unconventional, as well as his skillful rendering of human form and expression.
