La Goulue and Her Sister at the Moulin Rouge

La Goulue and Her Sister at the Moulin Rouge
French postimpressionist artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec created La Goulue and Her Sister at the Moulin Rouge in 1892. La Goulue was a nightclub dancer and the subject of many drawings and lithographs by Toulouse-Lautrec. The influence of Japanese prints on the artist is clear in this piece, with its unusual palette, calligraphic lines, and flattened space.
