Une opération par le Docteur Péan à l’Hôpital International 1891

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Une opération par le Docteur Péan à l’Hôpital International" (1891) depicts a medical operation in a hospital setting. The scene is composed of a crowded room with numerous figures, likely medical professionals and patients, gathered around a table. The dynamic composition and use of pastel create a sense of immediacy and realism, capturing the drama and intensity of a surgical procedure. The painting exemplifies Lautrec's fascination with contemporary life and his unique ability to portray the human condition with a blend of social commentary and artistic finesse.
