Dans l'atelier, la pose du modèle (c.1885). Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864-1901). Oil on canvas. Lille, Palais des Beaux-Arts.Toulouse-Lautrec stretches and tightens the framing on the model, accentuates the pose to reinforce the complicity between the two protagonists. This painting recalls the artist’s preference for red-haired models. The power of the work lies in the strength of the color and the play of oblique and parallel lines which animate the dress of the young woman. The play of shadows and lights are applied by touches, illuminating the bust and the face of the model; the folds and folds of the fabric are brushed with large brushstrokes. -- source link
