Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a prominent French painter, printmaker, and illustrator, created the lithograph "May Belfort" in 1895. This work is a striking example of Lautrec's ability to capture the essence of Parisian nightlife and its vibrant personalities. May Belfort, an Irish singer and performer, was a well-known figure in the Montmartre cabaret scene during the late 19th century. She was famous for her provocative and playful performances, often appearing on stage dressed as a young girl with a kitten, singing risqué songs with a childlike innocence that belied their suggestive content.

Lautrec's depiction of Belfort is both captivating and evocative. The lithograph features Belfort in one of her characteristic costumes, with a large bow in her hair and a kitten cradled in her arms. The artist's use of bold lines and striking colors highlights her theatrical presence and the whimsical nature of her performances. Lautrec's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the personality of his subjects are evident in this work, which captures the essence of Belfort's stage persona.

The background of the lithograph is relatively simple, allowing Belfort to stand out as the focal point. Lautrec's use of flat areas of color and his emphasis on the figure's outline are characteristic of his style, influenced by Japanese woodblock prints and the Art Nouveau movement. This piece is part of a series of posters and prints Lautrec created to advertise and celebrate the performers of the Montmartre cabarets, including the famous Moulin Rouge.

"May Belfort" is not only a testament to Lautrec's artistic talent but also a valuable historical document that offers insight into the cultural milieu of fin-de-siècle Paris. The lithograph is held in various collections around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, ensuring that this vibrant portrayal of a bygone era continues to be appreciated by contemporary audiences.
