Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec designed this cover illustration for a book concerning Ninon de Lenclos, a celebrated seventeenth-century French courtesan, writer, and patron of the arts renowned for her wit and independence. The commission reflects Toulouse-Lautrec's frequent work as a book and periodical illustrator alongside his better-known posters and paintings of Montmartre nightlife. His graphic work for publishers and journals helped spread his distinctive style of bold outline and flattened color well beyond the gallery walls.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.
