I have learned through experience with various customers that Etsy opts for the USPS Priority Mail (1 – 3 days) when they compute the shipping charges for this item. Because of the size of the box I need to ship it in, it exceeds 22 inches in length, and is greater than 1 pound, a lesser expensive, but still good option for shipping is USPS Parcel Select Ground (2 – 9 days), which in most cases is at least half the cost of the rate for Priority Mail. Unless you tell me to do otherwise, I will choose the USPS Parcel Select Ground option for shipping, and will refund you the difference via the Etsy payment system on the day that I ship your order. In addition, combined shipping is available for additional orders made at the same time when safe to do so, and I will return any savings to you via Etsy’s payment system. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (November 24, 1864 – September 9, 1901) was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist and illustrator whose immersion in the colorful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant and provocative images of the modern, sometimes decadent, life of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec is among the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period, with Cézanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house, La Blanchisseuse, his early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22.4 million and set a new record for the artist for a price at auction. In his less-than-20-year career, Toulouse-Lautrec created: • 737 canvased paintings • 275 watercolors • 363 prints and posters • 5,084 drawings • some ceramic and stained glass work • an unknown number of lost works His debt to the Impressionists, particularly the more figurative painters like Manet and Degas, is apparent, for within his works, one can draw parallels to the detached barmaid at “A Bar at the Folies-Bergère” by Manet and the behind-the-scenes ballet dancers of Degas. His style was also influenced by the classical Japanese woodprints which became popular in art circles in Paris. He excelled at depicting people in their working environments, with the color and movement of the gaudy nightlife present but the glamour stripped away. He was a master at painting crowd scenes where each figure was highly individualized. At the time they were painted, the individual figures in his larger paintings could be identified by silhouette alone, and the names of many of these characters have been recorded. Toulouse-Lautrec's skilled depiction of people relied on his painterly style, which is highly linear and emphasizes contour. He often applied paint in long, thin brushstrokes which would leave much of the board underneath showing through. Many of his works may be best described as "drawings in colored paint" More photos of this matted print are available and can be shared upon request. Contact me with any questions.
