Woman Before a Mirror by Toulouse-Lautrec in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2011


Woman before a Mirror
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
(French, Albi 1864–1901 Saint-André-du-Bois)
Date: 1897
Medium: Oil on cardboard
Dimensions: 24 1/2 x 18 1/2 in. (62.2 x 47 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: The Walter H. and Leonore Annenberg Collection, Bequest of Walter H. Annenberg, 2002
Accession Number: 2003.20.15
Gallery Label:
The indolent, cloistered lives of prostitutes were the subject of some of Lautrec’s most powerful works. He made about fifty paintings depicting them, as well as numerous drawings and prints, including a suite of color lithographs, Elles, which was completed the year before this painting. Lautrec does not flatter the woman’s naked figure, nor does he divulge the expression she sees in her mirror: she appears simply to be taking a stark appraisal of herself.
