The painting showcases Lautrec's adept use of color and his ability to convey texture and movement.In this artwork, Mademoiselle Lender is depicted in profile from the waist up. Her head is elegantly tilted, suggesting a moment of fleeting expression, perhaps caught during a performance or a dramatic social engagement, reflecting Lautrec's fascination with the theatrical and lively characters of Parisian nightlife.She wears an extravagant hat adorned with large, bold red flowers that dominate the upper half of the composition, providing a vivid contrast to her delicate, fair-skinned face. Her fiery red hair peeks out from under the hat, complementing the intensity of the hat's color.Her attire includes a detailed, high-collared garment, patterned with intricate designs. The collar is a soft green, and the main body of the garment appears in a deep gray or green tone, decorated with darker patterns that suggest a rich texture. A hint of a bright red element, likely a flower or accessory, adds a pop of color near her chest, echoing the red of the hat and adding balance to the composition.Toulouse-Lautrec's distinct style is evident in the bold, confident brush strokes and the dynamic contours that define the form of the subject.
