I don't often share the work of the GREAT artists here, and even more rarely their best-known works. But it's never too much to celebrate the genius that was Toulouse-Lautrec. So much of his work - particularly the more lurid imagery - is so iconic, that I find it easier to marvel at his remarkable talent in the less-known, quiet and intimate works.

Madame Gibert isn't remotely seductive or lurid. She is eyes-down, concentrating on reading the news. Go Aline!
