More about this artwork
In the striking piece titled by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, created in 1898, we are presented with a dramatic and fervent glimpse into a scene of arrest. The artwork, crafted in Toulouse-Lautrec’s distinctively energetic and expressive style, captures a moment of high tension and emotion.The painting illustrates a violent and chaotic scene where a central figure, presumably Schlomé Fuss, is being apprehended by a figure that exudes authority, perhaps a police officer, suggested by the appearance of a uniform and a hat. The lines are hastily drawn, giving the piece a sense of urgency and movement. The sketchy, almost frenetic strokes suggest a tumultuous moment, capturing the chaos and tension inherent in the scene.Each figure is portrayed with exaggerated features and expressions that emphasize the drama of the moment. The background is minimal, focusing all attention on the physical interaction between the two primary figures, enhancing the narrative of confrontation and capture.Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's masterful use of rapid, sketch-like lines helps communicate the swift and surprising nature of the arrest, drawing viewers into this intense and transient slice of 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.
