The Motorist (L'automobiliste)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1896

This is a print of a man in a fuzzy fur coat driving a car. The man is on the left side of the print, and he has dark skin, a mustache that curves upwards, high cheekbones, and a long nose. His lips are closed in a neutral expression. He wears a flat black hat and round glasses. His left hand holds a black lever, and his right hand is in a fist on top of a small, horizontal wheel. In front of him is a flat surface, and from behind him, dark smoke billows into the air. In the background, there is a faint sketch of a standing person in a dress and a small dog. The background of the print is tan, yellowish paper.
