The Milliner, Renée Vert
<p>Dinner parties and celebrations were near constant events for Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s coterie of friends and fellow artists. Throughout the last decade of the 19th century, Lautrec designed menus for these alcohol-fueled affairs, frequently filling them with inside jokes and illustrations of his companions. This menu was created for a June 1893 party for the Société des Artistes Indépendants (Society of Independent Artists) and features a milliner and her hats, with Lautrec’s mark appearing on her hatbox.</p>

Painting
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa, known as Toulouse-Lautrec, was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator. His immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce popular works of art from decadent affairs.
