During a stay in a sanatorium in 1899, seeking treatment for alcoholism, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec produced a series of circus drawings entirely from memory, partly to demonstrate to doctors that his mental faculties remained intact. "At the Circus: Work in the Ring" belongs to this remarkable late series, capturing performers and horses with the same sharp economy of line he had honed drawing dancers and cabaret performers in Montmartre. The circus drawings are considered a poignant final testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's draftsmanship, made in the last years before his death in 1901.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

The detail is genuinely impressive for what I paid…
The condition it arrived in tells me somebody packs these by hand. Only the far edges of At the Circus: Work lose a little crispness.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. Everything that makes At the Circus: Work special survived the reproduction.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. The brushwork in At the Circus: Work shows exactly why Toulouse-Lautrec has the reputation.
There are things I like here and a couple that bug me. The texture that makes Toulouse-Lautrec interesting is only half there in At the Circus: Work. It works, and that is where my enthusiasm ends.
