a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, depicting a lively scene at a French cabaret. The central figure is a performer, dressed in a vibrant yellow blouse with ruffled sleeves and dark green pants, with one hand resting casually in their pocket. The performer's face is pale with bold red lips, and they wear a distinctive yellow hat adorned with a white feather. In the background, other figures, likely patrons of the cabaret, engage in conversation. The scene is set against a richly detailed backdrop that suggests the interior of a bustling entertainment venue, likely the Moulin Rouge or a similar location, common in Toulouse-Lautrec's work. The artist's use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes captures the vibrant energy of Parisian nightlife during the late 19th century. i Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864 鈥 1901), The Clown Cha-U-Kao, 1895.
