Blijf langer op het toilet
1898
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was the ultimate chronicler of Parisian nightlife, and this sketch captures a moment of pure drama. The woman, with her wild hair and eyes shut tight, looks like she’s belting out a sorrowful song or perhaps just overwhelmed by the moment. Her arms are crossed in front of her, drawn with long, spindly fingers that are a trademark of Lautrec’s style—he loved exaggerating features to show character. The title 'Linger Longer Loo' refers to a popular song, showing how this master of Post-Impressionism was diving straight into the pop culture of the 1890s. It feels less like a formal portrait and more like a quick snapshot of a soul baring it all on stage.
