Misia Natanson, wife of the magazine's publisher Thadée Natanson, skates across the sheet in a dark spotted coat with a fur collar, a huge feathered hat and a muff, the title La revue blanche lettered behind her. Toulouse-Lautrec designed the poster in 1895 for the literary and artistic review that published Proust, Gide, Jarry and the Nabis painters; Misia was its muse and the subject of posters by Bonnard and Vallotton too. The spattered dark blue of the coat and the empty white ground give the figure a tilting, gliding movement. Printed by Ancourt, Paris. The impression reproduced is in the Bibliothèque nationale de France.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A tall dark figure on white, for a study, library or hallway at 16×24 or 24×36 in thin black, no mat. It holds a white or pale grey wall and pairs with Bonnard's poster for the same magazine.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).
