May Milton

"May Milton" is a striking portrait of the famed British cabaret dancer and performer from late 19th-century Paris, captured in Toulouse-Lautrec's bold lithograph poster from 1895. Known for her dynamic presence in the Belle Époque entertainment scene, May Milton was a muse for Toulouse-Lautrec, whose Post-impressionism-inspired style vividly conveys her allure. The artwork, originally created as a cardboard portrait, employs lively colors and expressive lines characteristic of the period. Although similar works were commonly executed in oil paints, Toulouse-Lautrec's lithograph remains iconic, capturing her as a muse of the vibrant entertainment world.
