La Goulue is seen from behind in cream beside a woman in black

A colour lithograph with wide plain cream margins. A woman with piled orange hair, seen from behind in a pale cream gown, stands at the centre of a crowd; beside her, a woman in a black bodice and grey pin-striped skirt with dark olive-green hair turns toward a man in a black bowler hat. Two more top-hatted men stand at the left, one in a blue coat; a green balcony above shows a silhouetted couple among yellow columns.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) made the poster an art form. From 1891 his lithographs for the Moulin Rouge, Aristide Bruant, Jane Avril and the Divan Japonais turned Montmartre's performers into silhouettes and flat planes of colour learned from Japanese prints, and they were pasted across Paris by the thousand. He drew the cabarets, circuses and brothels of the city with unsentimental affection. His prints are held by the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec in Albi, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Museum of Modern Art.
