Aristide Bruant dans son Cabaret Toulouse-Lautrec Serigraph 29x23 Matted
A mid century printing by Penn Prints of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec's lithograph "Aristide Bruant". Print. Signed Lautrec lower left, Penn Prints lower right.
Original was by post-Impressionist painter, lithographer, and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, Albi 1864–1901 Saint-André-du-Bois).

Aristide Bruant was a successful singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur who ran a cabaret in the Montmartre quarter of Paris. When he began performing at up-scale café-concerts on the Champs-Élysées, he immediately commissioned Toulouse-Lautrec to market his rough street persona in a manner that would appeal to a bourgeois audience. Seizing on Bruant's trademark costume of a wide-brimmed hat, cape, and red scarf, Lautrec designed a sparse yet iconic image that promoted both the performer's career as well as his own.
