Philibert the Pony (Le poney Philibert)

Philibert the Pony (Le poney Philibert)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
French, 1864–1901
1898
A lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec that reduces the pony Philibert to a concise, drawinglike portrait, translating the artist’s quick observational touch into print.
You’re struck by the intensely worked head and neck—dense, hatched modeling and precise features—suspended in a wide, empty field where the body falls away into economy of sketchy strokes.
This piece exemplifies how Toulouse-Lautrec brought the spontaneity of drawing into lithography, helping to broaden printmaking’s expressive possibilities and to elevate everyday subjects into modern, intimate studies.
