The Sofa (c. 1894–1896) by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec Poster

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures a quiet moment with theatrical flair. Two women recline on a green settee, their forms sketched with swift, assured lines and highlighted with chalky whites. Shades of ochre, moss, and soft lilac combine to form a warm, lived-in palette, while the textured background lends an authentic feel to the scene.

The landscape orientation opens up the space, inviting the eye to follow the diagonal legs, while the lavender dress contrasts beautifully with the deep, inky stockings. Gentle highlights connect the figures seamlessly to their surroundings. This delicate balance of line and colour complements natural materials like oak, linen, and stone, making it a great addition to British interiors. Position it low above a sofa, incorporate it into a Belle Époque-inspired gallery wall, or let it stand alone to provide a tranquil focal point. Available in various sizes, this poster can be tailored to fit your wall perfectly.
