VII. Linger Longer, Loo 1898

"VII. Linger Longer, Loo" is a 1898 pencil drawing by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts a woman reclining with her head tilted back, seemingly in a moment of repose. The composition is defined by the expressive lines of the woman's hair and the soft, gestural strokes used to capture the form of her figure. The suggestive pose and the artist's signature bold lines capture the essence of the Parisian nightlife that Lautrec was known for.
