"Elles" is a notable series of lithographs created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec between 1896 and 1897. This collection, consisting of twelve prints, offers an intimate and empathetic portrayal of the daily lives of Parisian prostitutes. Toulouse-Lautrec, known for his keen observational skills and innovative approach to printmaking, provides a nuanced and humanizing depiction of his subjects, diverging from the more sensationalized or moralistic representations common in his era.

The series was published by Gustave Pellet, a prominent art dealer and publisher who specialized in avant-garde works. "Elles" was groundbreaking in its approach, as it eschewed the typical eroticism associated with depictions of sex workers, instead focusing on their mundane, everyday activities. The women are shown in various states of repose, grooming, and interaction, providing a rare glimpse into their private lives. Toulouse-Lautrec's empathetic perspective is evident in the tender and respectful manner in which he captures their expressions and postures.

Technically, "Elles" showcases Toulouse-Lautrec's mastery of lithography, a medium he began exploring in the early 1890s. His use of bold lines, subtle shading, and innovative compositions reflects his deep understanding of the medium's potential. The series is also notable for its limited color palette, which enhances the emotional depth and intimacy of the scenes depicted.

"Elles" was met with mixed reactions upon its release. While some critics appreciated the artist's sympathetic portrayal and technical prowess, others were scandalized by the subject matter. Despite this, the series has since been recognized as a significant contribution to both Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre and the broader field of printmaking. Today, "Elles" is celebrated for its compassionate and unvarnished portrayal of women who were often marginalized in society, highlighting Toulouse-Lautrec's unique ability to capture the humanity of his subjects.
