Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a bohemian French post-impressionist artist in the late 19th century.

He earned much of his livelihood by creating promotional posters for the Moulin Rouge and other French cabaret theaters.
During a career that spanned less than two decades, Toulouse-Lautrec created over 350 prints and posters, 5,000 drawings and 1,000 paintings.
