"May Belfort" is a lithograph created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1895. The work is part of a series of posters and prints that Toulouse-Lautrec made of performers from the Parisian nightlife, which was a central theme in his oeuvre. May Belfort was an Irish singer who became popular in the Parisian cabarets for her performances in which she would dress as a baby and sing risqué songs with an innocent expression, a juxtaposition that both amused and scandalized her audiences.

The lithograph captures Belfort in her characteristic costume, complete with a bonnet and frilly dress, holding her cat, which was a part of her act. Toulouse-Lautrec's portrayal is notable for its satirical edge, emphasizing the contrast between Belfort's childlike appearance and the adult nature of her performance. The artist's use of simplified forms, bold lines, and strategic color placement reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints and the emergent Art Nouveau style.

"May Belfort" is considered an important work in Toulouse-Lautrec's career as it exemplifies his skill in capturing the essence of a character with economy of detail, as well as his ability to convey the vibrant and sometimes seedy atmosphere of the Parisian entertainment scene at the end of the 19th century. The lithograph remains an enduring image of the Belle Époque and is held in various art collections around the world. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the social dynamics and popular entertainment of the period.
