More about this artwork

Captured in fluid, expressive lines, "Miss May Belfort" is a notable work by the French post-impressionist painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. This sketch, created in 1895, portrays the Irish singer May Belfort, who was known for her performances in Parisian cabarets in the late 19th century.In this portrayal, Belfort is depicted with a distinctive, somewhat mischievous look, wearing a lavish hat adorned with flowers and feathers that magnifies her stage persona. Her eyes are emphasized, making them a focal point that draws the viewer in. The delicacy of Lautrec’s lines skillfully captures the textures of her attire and the whimsical, feathered accessories that frame her face.Behind Miss Belfort, vague outlines suggest an audience, representative of the cabaret environment, though their forms are rendered with minimal detail, placing the primary focus on Belfort herself. The sketch not only highlights Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery in capturing characters and moods with minimal strokes but also reflects the vibrant culture of Parisian nightlife, which he frequented and from which he drew much inspiration.
