More about this artwork

Journey into the intimate and tranquil world captured by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in his evocative drawing "Elles: Woman Sleeping." Created in 1896, this work is part of Toulouse-Lautrec's celebrated Elles series, which delicately portrays the private lives of women in the Parisian demimonde.In this drawing, we observe a woman in a state of peaceful slumber. The artist's masterful use of loose yet expressive lines conveys the soft contours of the resting figure and the gentle folds of the bedding that envelops her. The composition accentuates the calm and almost ethereal atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the dreams and solitude of the sleeper.Toulouse-Lautrec’s technique of using lines that both sketch out and shade the scene adds a depth and texture that makes the drawing strikingly vivid, despite its apparent simplicity. The soft gradations of light and shadow play across the woman's body and the rumpled fabrics, creating a tender, almost palpable connection between the viewer and the subject."Elles: Woman Sleeping" not only showcases Lautrec's profound ability to capture the subtleties of human rest and vulnerability but also reflects his ongoing fascination with the unseen aspects of urban life.

Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the sometimes decadent affairs of those times.
