Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, Albi 186-1901) Title: Divan Japonais, Medium: Lithograph Print on Wove Paper, Sined in Plate, Size Approx. 12 x 9 Inches / Divan Japonais was one of the many café-concerts in late nineteenth-century Paris frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec. His poster advertising the nightspot features two of his favorite Montmartre stars, Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril. Here, Avril is a spectator, not a performer, as she sits in the foreground with Édouard Dujardin, a dandyish writer and nightclub habitué. In the upper left corner, on stage, is the headless body of Guilbert, recognizable by her trademark long black gloves and gaunt physique.
