Elsa, known as La Viennoise by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1897 - Poster

There’s a quiet theatricality to this piece. A poised Parisian woman, wrapped in a creamy fur boa, emerges from behind a warm red curtain. Chalky strokes of teal and sea green sweep over her dress, while soft ochre tones and a paper-like grain lend the scene an intimate feel. Created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the Belle Époque poster pioneer celebrated for bold outlines, quick brushwork and daringly cropped compositions, it captures glamour without raising its voice.

The asymmetrical design gives the image a sense of movement, while its powdery textures sit comfortably in minimalist and traditional interiors alike. It brings warmth to neutral schemes and contrast to cooler palettes, whether in a London flat or a country home. Fancy exploring the same atmosphere?
