Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec

 In this black and white print, there is a women standing with a cane. The figure is flattened using bold, black lines. In this composition there is hand written text across the top and bottom. This image is balanced asymmetrically using contrasting values. There are dynamic lines throughout the image, for example the cane is help at an angle. These traits are all characteristics of Art Nouveau. It's important to study and analyze multiple artists artwork.
