Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) was a French painter whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant and provocative images of the modern, sometimes decadent, life of those times.
Toulouse-Lautrec is among the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period. View Artist Collection

About Suzanne Valadon
The model for the sitter in this composition is Suzanne Valadon, a former circus performer who was Toulouse-Lautrec’s mistress for two years. Her scowl, slumped pose, and darkened eyes befit Bruant’s title perfectly, while the single glass and half-empty bottle of wine on the table suggest she drinks alone. The sketchy application of paint, which was diluted with turpentine and then brushed over underdrawing, approximates the kind of hazy, indistinct perception of the café that the inebriated sitter would have through her half-closed eyes.
