Jane Avril, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1899
color lithography, h 561mm × w 369mm More details
This expressive representation of Jane Avril is one of Lautrec’s last posters and was commissioned by the dancer herself. She was one of the stars of the Moulin Rouge. To the very end, Avril remained faithful to her old friend Lautrec, who immortalized her in numerous portrayals. After many prolific years, in 1898 Lautrec sank into depression and hardly worked anymore.
