Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1896

The image shows the back of a person seated and leaning slightly forward. The person is wearing a hat with a brim, short dark hair is visible, and they have a roundish face in profile. The figure is dressed in a loose-fitting coat and appears to be holding onto or pressing against a surface near their side. In the background are sketched lines and shapes suggesting a busy scene with people, tables, and chairs, possibly set in a street or market environment. Indistinct circular shapes above suggest string lights or decorative elements, creating a lively and crowded impression.
