Toulouse-Lautrec dressed up in
Jane Avril's hat and boa around 1892, what a look, this is a huge photograph in the exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House. It's a private anonymous collection, it is beautiful and fascinating, showing the importance of Lautrec's muse which influenced his artwork.
Photograph of Jane Avril, around 1890
This image was one of my favourites, Jane Avril at the Moulin Rouge, around 1893. She was one of the star dancers and was known for her alluring style and exotic personality. She was a close friend of Lautrec and he painted her a number of times not only at the Moulin Rouge but also he paints her off the stage to give more of a peek into her private life.
She is recognisable by her angular features and red hair in this painting
