Painting Description
"Resting Model" (French: "Modèle se reposant") is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a renowned French painter of the Post-Impressionist period known for his depictions of the colorful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century. Created in 1889, this work is an example of Toulouse-Lautrec's interest in the intimate and candid moments of the lives of the models, performers, and prostitutes who inhabited the demimonde of Paris.
The painting features a female model in a state of repose, capturing a moment of vulnerability and relaxation that contrasts with the often glamorized portrayals of Parisian nightlife. Toulouse-Lautrec's use of color, line, and composition reflects the influence of Japanese woodblock prints and the avant-garde movements of his time, such as Impressionism and the nascent Symbolism.
"Resting Model" is executed in oil on cardboard, a medium that Toulouse-Lautrec frequently used for its immediacy and the ease with which it allowed him to work quickly. The painting measures 65 cm x 49.5 cm (approximately 25.6 inches x 19.5 inches) and is part of a larger body of work that includes studies of the human figure, often depicted with a sense of psychological depth and emotional resonance.
The work is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the understanding of Toulouse-Lautrec's oeuvre and the broader context of late 19th-century French art. "Resting Model" is emblematic of the artist's empathetic and often poignant portrayal of the marginalized individuals who frequented the bohemian circles of Montmartre, where he lived and worked.
As with many of Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings, "Resting Model" offers insight into the social fabric of Paris during the Belle Époque, a period of great cultural and artistic flourishing. The painting is a testament to Toulouse-Lautrec's skill in capturing the human condition and the fleeting moments of everyday life with sensitivity and a distinctive aesthetic that has left a lasting impact on the history of art.
