"Croquis by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec" refers to a collection of sketches and drawings by the renowned French artist Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (1864–1901). Toulouse-Lautrec is best known for his evocative depictions of late 19th-century Parisian life, particularly the vibrant and decadent atmosphere of its nightclubs, theaters, and bordellos. The term "croquis" is French for "sketch," and these works are characterized by their spontaneous, fluid lines and often informal subjects.

Toulouse-Lautrec's croquis are significant for their role in capturing the ephemeral moments and characters of the Belle Époque. With a keen observer's eye, he documented the personalities and peculiarities of his era, from the performers who graced the stages of the Moulin Rouge to the patrons and prostitutes who frequented its underbelly. His sketches were not only preparatory studies for his larger paintings and posters but also stand-alone works of art that reflect his innovative approach to drawing.

The artist's croquis are executed in various media, including pencil, pen and ink, brush and ink, and pastel. Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery of line and his ability to distill form and movement into a few deft strokes are hallmarks of his sketching style. These works often convey a sense of immediacy and intimacy, offering a candid window into the subjects' lives.

Toulouse-Lautrec's health and physical limitations, due to congenital health conditions, influenced his perspective as an artist. His immersion in the nightlife of Paris and his empathy for its denizens, many of whom were marginalized by society, imbued his croquis with a sense of authenticity and compassion.

Today, Toulouse-Lautrec's croquis are held in high esteem and can be found in the collections of major museums around the world. They continue to be celebrated for their artistic merit and for the unique insight they provide into the social fabric of fin-de-siècle Paris.
