La Clownesse assise, Mademoiselle Cha-u-kao (1896) In 1893 Toulouse Lautrec lived in a brothel for several months to immerse himself in the daily life of prostitutes. He regards his later series 'Elles' as a homage to these women. La Clownesse shows how perfectly he had mastered lithographic techniques. The so-called splash technique evokes a musty atmosphere, strengthened by the ironic look of the dressed up lady. | |
