Lithographs by Toulouse-Lautrec

The image shows a painting of figures at a bar or café table. Various figures, likely patrons and a bartender, are gathered around a bar counter. On the left, a stout figure with a mustache pours a drink from a bottle into a glass. To the right, there are figures in top hats having a conversation. A yellow pitcher and a pot of flowers are also visible. The background is deep blue, suggesting an interior setting. The color palette is mainly yellow, blue, and soft pink, typical of late 19th to early 20th-century styles and in the style of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Overview: A special summer exhibition of more than 100 color and black-and-white prints from the Rosenwald collection was on view. Many works had been purchased for the Gallery in Switzerland the previous fall by Mr. Rosenwald. Formerly they had belonged to Eduard Kleinmann, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's close friend and publisher, who had the opportunity to acquire a large number of rare and early proofs directly from the artist.
