Toulouse-Lautrec's fascination with performers is evident in "La Troupe De Mlle Eglantine" painted in 1896.

One cannot overlook "Aristide Bruant at His Cabaret" from 1893, where Toulouse-Lautrec immortalizes this iconic figure of Parisian nightlife.

Another intriguing piece by Toulouse-Lautrec is "Madame Poupoule at her Toilet, " created in 1898.
