Original Description
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s Yvette Guilbert - Pessima (Wittrock 274) captures the magnetic allure of Parisian cabaret star Yvette Guilbert with striking immediacy. Lautrec renders her elongated figure in fluid, expressive lines, emphasizing her signature black gloves and sharp features—elements that became synonymous with her performances. Created circa 1894 during Lautrec’s deep engagement with Montmartre’s nightlife, this lithograph embodies the Art Nouveau movement’s fascination with asymmetry and bold silhouettes. The stark contrast between Guilbert’s pale face and the dark, minimalist background heightens her theatrical presence. As one of Lautrec’s 50+ portraits of Guilbert, this work underscores his innovative printmaking techniques and his role in immortalizing Parisian entertainers, bridging fine art and popular culture in late 19th-century avant-garde circles.
For contemporary spaces, Yvette Guilbert - Pessima would elevate a study or creative office with its dramatic simplicity. Frame it in slim black wood to echo Guilbert’s gloves, and hang it against deep emerald or taupe walls to enhance its vintage gravitas. Ideal above a mid-century desk or within a gallery wall of Belle Époque posters, its vertical format (approx. 12 x 8 inches) suits narrow alcoves or paired with velvet-upholstered furniture. Offset its monochrome palette with brass accents or a single bold hue—like burgundy—to balance warmth and sophistication. Avoid overcrowding; let Lautrec’s linework command attention as a conversation piece bridging art history and modern edge.
