Description

This illustrated volume is an art book from the "Regards sur la peinture" collection, number 16, dedicated to Toulouse-Lautrec. The cover features a stylized reproduction of a characteristic portrait of the artist, with dominant yellow, bright red, and black tones, and a large black hat that occupies a significant part of the composition. The title "TOULOUSE-LAUTREC" appears in white letters on a red background, enhancing the visual impact of the work.

The inscription "REGARDS SUR LA PEINTURE" appears at the top of the cover in a red box on a white background, typical of an editorial collection specializing in art history. The number "16" is visible in the upper right corner, indicating that it is a specific volume in a series. At the bottom of the cover, the mention "ÉDITIONS FABBRI" identifies the publisher, known for its artistic and cultural publications.

The book has a softcover format, with a glossy finish that slightly reflects light, and rounded corners. The graphic composition and the style of the portrait evoke the Belle Époque aesthetic, characteristic of Toulouse-Lautrec's universe, famous for his posters and scenes of Parisian life. The bright colors and expressive drawing of the cover recall the artist's style.

The book is photographed standing on dark wooden furniture, in front of an old bookshelf filled with bound books, which highlights its character as a collector's item. No defects, creases, or tears are visible on the front; the surface appears in good condition with no significant signs of wear.

All inscriptions are clear and legible: "REGARDS SUR LA PEINTURE", "TOULOUSE-LAUTREC", "ÉDITIONS FABBRI" and the number "16". No other details, text, or illustrations are visible on this side.
