Jane Avril au Jardin de Paris (1893). Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864-1901). Colour lithograph poster. V&A.This poster demonstrates the visual juxtaposition of the beautiful and the grotesque that was so beloved of Toulouse-Lautrec: the sensuous figure of Avril contrasts sharply with that of the caricatured features of the musician playing the double-bass, his hairy knuckles are rendered all the more conspicuous by their proximity to her frothy gown. -- source link
