Mademoiselle Marcelle Lender, en buste (1895). Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864-1901). Lithograph. The Cleveland Museum of Art.The actress Lender was at the height of her stardom in 1895 when she was featured in the operetta Chilpéric performed at the Théâtre des Variétés in Paris. The artist attended on more than 20 occasions, arriving in time to see the final bolero in which Lender’s multilayered skirts created an explosion of bright pink and green tulle as she danced. With the fuchsia flowers and green cape, Toulouse-Lautrec evoked the performance that helped win Lender acclaim. -- source link
