Although Toulouse-Lautrec worked mainly as a graphic artist and printmaker, and is perhaps best known for his posters advertising venues such as the Moulin Rouge, this oil painting on millboard shows the influence of Impressionism on his work. This is particularly evident in the loose brushwork of the clothing and foliage and in the way surfaces reflect light and colour from their environment.
Toulouse-Lautrec has made great use of outlines to create shapes, which were then filled in using a variety of brushstrokes. The use of line and the overall effect of decorative flatness show clear affinities with the posters the artist created in the 1890s and also with Art Nouveau, which was at its height at this time.
