"Elles" is a notable series of lithographs created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec between 1896 and 1897. This collection is significant in the realm of art history for its intimate and empathetic portrayal of the lives of Parisian prostitutes, a subject that was both controversial and groundbreaking at the time. Toulouse-Lautrec, known for his keen observation and unique ability to capture the essence of Parisian nightlife, approached this series with a sense of humanity and respect that was uncommon in depictions of sex workers during the late 19th century.

The "Elles" series consists of ten lithographs, each offering a glimpse into the private and often mundane moments of the women’s lives. Unlike the sensationalized or moralizing representations typical of the era, Toulouse-Lautrec's works are characterized by their candidness and sensitivity. The artist's use of soft lines, muted colors, and delicate shading techniques contributes to the intimate atmosphere of the series, inviting viewers to see the subjects as individuals rather than mere objects of desire or pity.

Toulouse-Lautrec's choice to focus on the everyday aspects of the women's lives—such as moments of rest, grooming, and camaraderie—challenges the stigmatized perceptions of prostitution. His empathetic approach is further emphasized by the absence of male figures in the series, which shifts the narrative from one of exploitation to one of personal experience and agency.

"Elles" was initially met with mixed reactions, reflecting the societal discomfort with its subject matter. However, it has since been recognized as a pioneering work that contributes to the broader understanding of gender, sexuality, and the social dynamics of the time. Today, "Elles" is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for its progressive and humane perspective, cementing Toulouse-Lautrec's legacy as a compassionate observer of the human condition.
