Self-Portrait. Caricature 1885

This 1885 caricature, titled "Self-Portrait," is a characteristically humorous work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Known for his stylized depictions of Parisian nightlife and his own physical peculiarities, Lautrec's self-portrait captures his distinctive long limbs and exaggerated features in a playful, almost cartoonish manner. This piece exemplifies his talent for graphic line work and use of black ink on paper, which gave his drawings a sense of immediacy and energy. This work is housed in the Musee Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, France, a museum dedicated to the artist's life and legacy.
