In keeping with the Impressionist’s interest in scenes of everyday life,
Toulouse-Lautrec’s print depicts a famous French politician, Georges
Clemenceau, not in a moment of great national importance, but being
fitted for new glasses by his optometrist. This lithograph reflects the
bold graphic style that made Toulouse-Lautrec famous. In addition to
his work as a painter and printmaker, the artist specialized in designing
advertising posters for Parisian nightclubs.
