Original Description
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Les Vieilles Histoires" (The Old Stories) is a captivating lithograph from 1897 that transports viewers to Parisian bohemian life through its masterful play of line and mood. Rendered in Lautrec's signature post-impressionist style with art nouveau influences, the work depicts a dreamy female figure with elaborate headwear gazing contemplatively into the distance, her pensive expression framed by delicate arabesques and soft color transitions. This rare proof impression before letters showcases Lautrec's revolutionary graphic design approach that blurred boundaries between fine art and commercial printing – a radical concept that elevated poster art to museum-worthy status. As one of his final series before his untimely death, the piece represents the culmination of Lautrec's ability to distill psychological depth into deceptively simple compositions, cementing his legacy as the poetic chronicler of Montmartre's soul.
For contemporary interiors, this lithograph's intimate 24×17 cm dimensions make it ideal for creating an elegant focal point in reading nooks or executive offices when framed with museum glass and slender black hardwood moulding. The artwork's dominant muted mauve and sage tones harmonize beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Setting Plaster" walls or Herman Miller's muted textile upholstery, while its fluid lines complement both mid-century modern furnishings and art deco accents. Consider hanging it in diffused natural light conditions that echo its original café-concert ambiance, perhaps paired with a 1920s-style brass piano lamp to enhance its golden undertones. In corporate spaces, the piece adds sophisticated counterpoint to sleek minimalist environments when displayed as part of a curated salon wall with other post-impressionist graphics, its narrative quality sparking conversation without overwhelming contemporary décor schemes.
