Flirt (An Englishman at the Moulin Rouge)

1892

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) Printed by Edward Ancourt (French, active 19th century) Published by Boussod, Valadon et Cie. (Paris, 1892)

Lautrec's first prints were posters that he began designing in 1891. The following year, when he started to make limited-edition lithographs, he continued to employ the eye-catching techniques of advertising art by using bright colors and bold outlines. He often used a spattered mist of color to add snap to his prints, an effect particularly noticeable here in the green dress.
