Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's *Marcelle Lender Dancing the Bolero in ‘Chilpéric’*, painted in 1895-96, captures the energy and movement of the famous dancer Marcelle Lender performing in the play *Chilpéric*. Lautrec was fascinated by the Parisian entertainment scene, especially the theater, and he often depicted its performers in his work. This painting, with its bold lines and vibrant colors, is characteristic of Lautrec's style and demonstrates his talent for capturing the essence of movement and capturing a moment in time.
