La passagère du 54-Promenade en yacht (The Passenger from Cabin 54-On a Cruise)
Not on view
In 1896, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec designed this elegant sheet advertising an international exhibition of posters at the Salon des Cent, a gallery run by the literary journal La Plume. Entitled The Passenger from Cabin 54-On a Cruise, the poster immortalizes an unnamed woman who caught Toulouse-Lautrec's eye during a summer cruise. The object of his gaze stares out to sea in a private moment, apparently oblivious that her likeness has been co-opted for public consumption.
