"At the Circus: The Animal Trainer" is a notable work by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, created in 1899. This piece is part of a series of 39 crayon drawings that depict various scenes from the circus, a theme that fascinated Toulouse-Lautrec and featured prominently in his oeuvre. The series, known as "Au Cirque" or "At the Circus," showcases the artist's keen observation skills and his ability to capture the movement and dynamism of the circus performers.

The drawing "The Animal Trainer" specifically portrays a moment of interaction between a circus animal trainer and the animals under his command. Toulouse-Lautrec's use of color and line in this work is characteristic of his Post-Impressionist style, which often included elements of Impressionism, Japanese woodcuts, and the emerging Art Nouveau movement. His distinctive technique, involving the use of swift, gestural lines and strategic color application, brings to life the energy and tension of the performance.

Measuring 52 x 40 cm, the drawing is executed on wove paper using colored crayons, a medium that allowed Toulouse-Lautrec to work with speed and spontaneity, capturing the fleeting moments of the circus acts. The artwork is part of a collection that was initially intended to be published as a portfolio, offering an intimate glimpse into the world of the circus beyond the spectacle, highlighting the performers' humanity and the gritty reality of their lives.

"The Animal Trainer" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the insight it provides into Toulouse-Lautrec's fascination with the marginalized and the spectacle of entertainment. The work is preserved and displayed in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the legacy of Toulouse-Lautrec as one of the most important Post-Impressionist artists and a chronicler of the Parisian nightlife at the turn of the 20th century.
