Jeanne Granier
The talented singer and actress Jeanne Granier (1852−1939) was among the stars Toulouse-Lautrec chose to feature in a portfolio of lithographic portraits that he prepared for the London publisher W. H. B. Sands in 1898. She appears here as though on stage, squinting against the bright light cast uniformly across her face. At the time Lautrec completed this portrait, she was performing in the play "Le Nouveau Jeu" at the Théâtres des Variétés.
