While Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is best known for his iconic posters of the Moulin Rouge, he was an avid lover of animals, particularly horses, from a very young age. His early studies, such as this one, demonstrate his keen observation and the technical command of color he developed before shifting his focus to the human figures of the Montmartre cabaret scene.
