"May Belfort" is a lithograph created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1895. This poster features a woman in a red dress with a large hat, holding a black cat. The bold, graphic style is characteristic of Toulouse-Lautrec's work and his use of strong colors and simplified forms. The poster was designed for an advertisement for a performance at the Moulin Rouge, a famous Parisian nightclub, showcasing Toulouse-Lautrec's fascination with Parisian nightlife and the city's underbelly.
