Description
Cecy Loftus appears in a full gown seen from the back and in profile in Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s lithograph, facing toward the right near a stage step. A woodgrain-like backdrop gives her figure a textured setting. The viewpoint keeps the named performer’s outward presence particular, allowing clothing and bearing to carry the image without a direct frontal portrait.
Made in 1895, the crayon and spatter lithograph is printed in dark green on China paper. Its distinct material tone gives the figure another character from a black impression or a full-color painting. Toulouse-Lautrec brings a public identity into an image that can be encountered closely, preserving an appearance beyond its passing occasion. The print’s interest lies in that concentration, where a name and represented person remain connected within a concise and individual visual presence.
