    Follette by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

    Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is mainly known for his 19th century Parisian women.   Ballerinas, can-can girls, and laundresses all were subjects of his work.  But he was also a very sensitive dog artist.  And he was quite resourceful.  This piece, Follette, 1890, is oil painted on cardboard.   It is part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's collection, not currently on view.  But you can see it and enlarge it on their website.

    Touc, Seated on Table is another dog painting by Toulouse-Lautrec.  It is one of my all-time favorites.  A postcard of it has been hanging on my refrigerator for years.
