This image is the famous poster “Divan Japonais” created by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1893. The poster showcases a scene from the Parisian café-concert named Divan Japonais. The artwork is rendered in a style typical of Toulouse-Lautrec, with bold outlines and a limited but striking color palette mostly consisting of yellows, greens, blacks, and reds. It displays a sleekly dressed woman with a large feathered hat sitting in the foreground. She is shown in profile and is seemingly looking at something or someone outside the frame. Behind her, there's an outline of a male figure with distinctive facial features. Both the elegant woman and the man are depicted in black silhouette, with details highlighted in contrasting colors. The image also includes a Japanese-inspired design element, indicated in part by the café's name, "Divan Japonais." Text is included on the poster as well, providing the name of the establishment and the address “75 rue des Martyrs,” as well as the name “Ed Fournier” identified as the director. The artist's signature, "Toulouse-Lautrec," is located near the bottom-right of the work.
