Before he became the king of Parisian cabaret posters, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was absolutely obsessed with horses. This energetic sketch captures a female rider on a prancing steed with loose, frantic lines that practically vibrate with movement. It's a bittersweet piece—after breaking both his legs in adolescence due to a genetic bone condition, he could never ride again, so he lived vicariously through his art, capturing the equestrian world he was forced to leave behind.
