"Divan Japonais" is a lithographic poster created in 1893 by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The work is one of Toulouse-Lautrec's most celebrated and is emblematic of the Belle Époque period in Paris, where the nightlife and the burgeoning entertainment industry were frequent subjects of the artist's oeuvre. The poster was commissioned to promote the Parisian café-concert or nightclub named Le Divan Japonais, located on the Boulevard de Clichy in the Montmartre district, an area known for its bohemian lifestyle and as a hub of artistic activity.

Measuring 80.3 cm × 60.9 cm, "Divan Japonais" features the prominent dancer Jane Avril, a close friend of Toulouse-Lautrec and a regular performer at the Moulin Rouge, sitting in the audience alongside the writer Édouard Dujardin. The composition is notable for its bold use of silhouette and flat areas of color, characteristics of the Japanese woodblock prints that influenced many European artists of the time, including Toulouse-Lautrec. The poster's design reflects the artist's interest in capturing the dynamic energy of Parisian nightlife while also showcasing his innovative graphic style that combined elements of Art Nouveau and Japanese aesthetics.

In the foreground, the elegantly dressed Avril is depicted with her characteristic long, slender neck, which Toulouse-Lautrec accentuated to convey her gracefulness. The singer Yvette Guilbert is also featured in the background, recognizable by her black gloves and the absence of her head, which is cropped by the poster's upper edge—a daring compositional choice that focuses attention on her gesturing hands. This truncation was a radical departure from traditional portraiture and demonstrated Toulouse-Lautrec's interest in the candid, often abrupt, framing techniques found in photography and Japanese prints.

"Divan Japonais" is not only a significant work in Toulouse-Lautrec's portfolio but also an important historical document that provides insight into the cultural life of Paris at the end of the 19th century. The poster is held in various museum collections and has been the subject of numerous exhibitions exploring the intersection of fine art and commercial advertising, as well as the role of the avant-garde in shaping modern visual culture.
