Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) French, Figural Lithograph Print "Pour Toi!".

This artwork portrays the musician Désiré Dihau playing the bassoon towards a bust of Pan, blending elements of classical mythology with contemporary musical life. Created as part of the series Les Vieilles Histoires, which combined poetry by Jean Goudezki and music by Dihau, the lithograph reflects Lautrec's interest in the interplay between different art forms and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with both humor and affection. The piece was printed by Imprimerie Joly and published by Georges Ondet, with editions featuring variations such as stencil coloring and different paper types. Today, Pour toi! is held in several prominent collections, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, underscoring its enduring significance in the canon of 19th-century French art.

Includes appraisal.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French painter, illustrator, and printmaker whose vivid, often provocative depictions of Parisian nightlife made him a defining figure of the Post-Impressionist era. Despite a debilitating genetic condition that stunted his growth and shaped his outlook, Toulouse-Lautrec immersed himself in the bohemian world of Montmartre, capturing the raw energy of cabarets, brothels, and cafés with a unique blend of empathy, wit, and sharp observation. His iconic posters for venues like the Moulin Rouge revolutionized graphic design with their bold lines and flat colors, influenced by both Japanese prints and the modern urban experience. With a style that fused caricature and psychological depth, Toulouse-Lautrec’s work remains a poignant chronicle of Belle Époque Paris and a testament to the expressive power of art on the fringes.
