Adolphe (The Sad Young Man) 1894

"Adolphe (The Sad Young Man)" is a 1894 lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. The work, currently held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, depicts a solitary man standing with his head downcast, suggesting melancholy and introspection. Lautrec's distinctive style, characterized by bold lines, exaggerated features, and a focus on Parisian nightlife, is evident in the artwork. This piece reflects his interest in capturing the psychological complexities of individuals within the bustling social scenes of late 19th-century Paris.
