Description
In Getting Up, a woman in a white gown sits on a bed at the left, facing a standing red-haired figure at the right. A red patterned coverlet gives their immediate setting another strong presence. The two bodies make the ordinary transition a shared occasion, connecting personal routine to the company within the room.
Made in 1896, the lithograph is printed in four colors on wove paper. Toulouse-Lautrec gives the subject a differentiated material presence, allowing the figures and their immediate setting to be considered together. The scene’s interest lies in an action that usually passes quickly but can become particular through the people involved. A modest moment gains its own character, bringing personal routine into a printed image that preserves the relationship between bodies and familiar surroundings.
