La Revue Blanche
Small French poster by Toulouse Lautrec, La Revue blanche
is a famous poster created in 1895 by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The poster was an advertisement for the literary and artistic magazine of the same name, which was a publication for avant-garde writers, artists, and intellectuals in Paris during the Belle Époque.
Details about the artwork

Subject: The woman depicted in the poster is Misia Natanson, the wife of one of the magazine's editors, Thadée Natanson. She was a celebrated muse and frequent hostess of social gatherings for the magazine's contributors. The unusual pose of the figure is because she is shown on skates, a detail that was more apparent in the initial design.
Medium: The original poster is a color lithograph printed on two sheets of paper.
Artistic Style: The poster's flat colors, strong outlines, and unconventional angles are inspired by Japanese woodblock printing (ukiyo-e) and the work of artists like Edgar Degas and Édouard Manet.

The poster is a well-known example of Toulouse-Lautrec's work and is considered a symbol of the Belle Époque.
