Did you know?
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated by the lives of the residents of Parisian brothels, often depicting them with a sense of dignity, empathy, and psychological depth rather than judgment. This specific painting, part of a series focusing on the intimacy between women, was so personal to the artist that he rarely allowed it to be exhibited during his lifetime. It highlights his unique ability to capture candid, quiet moments of human connection within the bustling underworld of 19th-century Montmartre.
