The work and its artist

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901)

Born on November 24, 1864 in Albi, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec began painting in his youth and innovated in lithographic drawing.

He died on September 9, 1901, at the age of 36, as a result of heavy alcohol consumption and various diseases.
