TitleThe Seated Clowness
Year1896
Medium Lithograph printed in five colors on wove paper
Edition Size100
SeriesElles



Size: 20 7/16 x 15 3/4 in. (51.9 x 40 cm)
Description: The success of Toulouse-Lautrec's posters advertising Parisian cabarets such as the Moulin Rouge led him to produce deluxe editions of prints of Montmartre's performers, such as this one of the clown and dancer Cha-u-Kao. These lithographs were intended to appeal to fans and print collectors alike. Unlike Lautrec's other images that feature Cha-u-Kao performing, this one captures her off stage in a moment of quiet repose. Her frank pose and almost weary expression suggest we are glimpsing the person behind the persona
