About the work
The Laundress is a black and gray wash with white paint, scratched away in places, on gray cardboard prepared with white ground by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, dated 1888. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) drew the cafés, cabarets and dance halls of Montmartre. His colour lithographs and posters of performers such as Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril and Yvette Guilbert helped turn the poster into an art form. The original is in the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art.
