In the Salon at the Rue des Moulins
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec · 1894
Why it's great
Women in colorful gowns sit on sofas in a lavish, red-lit parlor, waiting, looking bored. Toulouse-Lautrec lived in a Paris boarding house and painted the everyday lives of women there with compassion. He didn't judge them. It's a painting of ordinary life.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born into a noble family in Albi, France, but broken bones in childhood stunted his growth. He moved to Montmartre in Paris and painted the dancers, singers and cabaret stars of the Moulin Rouge. His bold posters helped invent modern advertising art. He died at 36, at his mother's château in southwestern France.
