Femme assise vue de dos – étude pour « Au Moulin Rouge »

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1892

The image shows a person from the back, with a focus on the upper half of their body. The person is positioned slightly turned, suggesting a seated posture but with no clear view of the face. Their hair is styled in an updo, featuring blonde curls that are visible beneath a large, dark blue hat adorned with ribbons and possibly feathers. The clothing is represented with minimal detail, sketched in soft strokes that imply drapery over the shoulders. The person is not depicted with any jewelry or objects in their hands. The background is plain and textured, possibly the grain of a canvas or paper.
