Original 1898 lithography entitled "Le Concert" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
By Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Located in PARIS, FR
The original 1898 lithography entitled "Le Concert" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is a work of great artistic finesse, capturing both the artist's distinctive style and the elegant scene of society at the time.
