(After) Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901, France.) This hand-pulled lithograph was inspired by Toulouse-Lautrec's vintage 1896 advertising poster, "Troupe de Mlle Eglantine" (Mademoiselle Eglantine’s Troupe.) The image captures the energy and frivolity of the chorus line performing the can-can. In the bottom left corner, the work has the trademark initials of Lautrec, a signature of Lautrec, and the writing “122 J.P. Remond Lith.” right below the signature.
