Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec came from an aristocratic family with a passion for horses and carriages, a world he depicted with informed, affectionate detail even as his main subjects shifted to the cafés and cabarets of Montmartre. "A Drive in the Country" reflects this less-expected side of his output, showing his early training in traditional genre subjects before he became famous for his posters and paintings of Parisian nightlife. Toulouse-Lautrec's technical facility across such varied subjects reflects his rigorous early academic training under Léon Bonnat and Fernand Cormon.
