Description

Lucien Guitry appears as a dark-coated bust turning three-quarters toward the right, with a mustache and smoothly arranged hair. Strong hatching at the left gives the portrayal a weightier edge. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec concentrates attention on the named actor’s head and upper body, letting differences of mark and surrounding space give the figure a particular graphic presence.

Made in 1898 as a crayon lithograph on china paper, the portrayal balances the dark coat and strongly hatched area against the lighter face and surrounding ground. The three-quarter turn keeps the head from becoming a flat emblem, bringing the mustache and hair into a particular arrangement. Toulouse-Lautrec lets this concentrated likeness hold attention without an elaborate setting or theatrical action.
