More about this artwork
In this image, an elegantly dressed older man and a younger woman are sitting closely together at a dining table. The man, who appears affluent based on his attire, is turned toward the woman, whose arm is playfully draped around his shoulder. The woman, dressed in a vibrant red blouse with a high black collar, is leaning in to whisper into the man's ear, an intimate gesture that draws the viewer's focus. Her facial expression conveys a charming allure, highlighted by the stark contrast of her dark hair styled up and her pale skin. Another figure, a bored-looking woman, sits in the background, her posture suggesting disinterest and detachment from the interaction between the two main subjects. The backdrop is a flat, abstract pattern of muted yellow which gives no hint of the setting beyond the table scene, emphasizing the characters and their interactions over the environment.

Henri de Toulouse–Lautrec (1864–1901), was an aristocratic alcoholic French artist known for his socially unacceptable lifestyle. He observed and documented the Parisian nightlife through his post-impressionist artworks. Sharing a similar style as other well-known French artists such as Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat, he created memorable works of art depicting the lifestyle that he enjoyed before passing at a young age.
