About this work

Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901)
Year: 1893
Medium: Colour lithograph (poster)
Original size: 138 × 99 cm
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Movement: Post-Impressionism

The singer Aristide Bruant in his wide-brimmed black hat, dark cape and long red scarf, set against a plain ground with his name lettered above. Bruant ran his own cabaret in Montmartre, singing songs of the Paris underworld in the voice of the street, and when he began to appear at the smarter café-concerts on the Champs-Élysées he commissioned Toulouse-Lautrec to sell that rough persona to a bourgeois audience. The poster of 1893 reduces him to a few flat shapes, the hat, the cape and the scarf, and the sparse design made both performer and artist famous. Printed in four colours by lithography, it is more than a metre high. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired this impression in 1932 with the Harris Brisbane Dick Fund.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret in the public domain?

Yes. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret painted, and in what medium?

Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret dates from 1893 and was made in colour lithograph (poster); the original measures 138 × 99 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
