Idylle princière 1897

"Idylle princière" (1897) is a lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) depicting a woman in a lavish hat sitting in a theater box with a man. This striking example of his signature style exemplifies the artist's fascination with Parisian nightlife and upper-class society. The composition, dominated by the woman's elaborate hat and the bold lines of the theater box, conveys a sense of both intimacy and distance, characteristic of Lautrec's ability to capture the essence of social interactions. The lithograph is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.
