More about this artwork

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's 1896 lithograph "Elles: Woman In a Corset" is a captivating glimpse into the intimate universe of fin-de-siècle Parisian life. Dominated by delicate and yet assertive lines, the work portrays a woman from behind as she adjusts the corset on her back, emphasizing the contours and the very essence of her form. Her off-white evening gown drapes elegantly, contrasting with the bold, black lace of her corset that cinches at the waist.To her right, a spectator, possibly a suitor or merely an observer, in a dark top hat and suit sits intimately close, his gaze directed towards her or perhaps lost in thought, adding a narrative layer of interaction or observation.The setting hints at a personal space, subtly detailed with elements like a richly adorned armchair and framed artworks on the walls, suggesting a private boudoir or perhaps a more public lounge. The sparse yet effective use of color focuses attention on the central elements of the composition—the interaction between the characters and the play of attire.Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery in capturing the rhythms of Parisian nightlife and the private moments of those within it speaks profoundly through this lithograph.
