"Le Divan Japonais" is a famous lithograph created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1892-1893. This artwork is a quintessential example of Toulouse-Lautrec's depiction of the vibrant Parisian nightlife, particularly the Montmartre district's cabaret scene. The print showcases the singer Yvette Guilbert (notable by her signature long black gloves) and the dancer Jane Avril seated at a table, with musician Edouard Dujardin in the background. The artwork's title, "Le Divan Japonais," refers to a well-known Parisian café-concert that embraced the Japonism trend, reflected in the print's stylistic elements.
