Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Lithograph printed in colors, on two sheets, 1895, third (final) state, with letters, on wove paper, linen-backed, tacked and taped to wooden stretcher, framed

The paper tone and colors significantly darkened overall by colors. A series of vertical flattened creases are visible in the center of the sheet, from the right of the figure's hat into her dress (occasionally breaking through). Two tears at the left and lower sheet edges, the latter and longest measuring 6 1/2 inches and extending diagonally. The entire sheet folded over the stretcher at all sheet edges and tacked with associated wear at the corners and occasional losses.
