Monsieur Boileau
by TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de, Oil on canvas, 80 x 65 cm
Lautrec’s paintings of men represent excellent dancers, old gentlemen or young pimps, and men waiting for their girls. The women flutter round them, and the silhouettes of these men, all occupying the foreground, take on a bas-relief quality. All of them are Lautrec’s friend.
