An exceptional character study by Lautrec of the acclaimed comic M.
Baron. The text reads, "The newspapers announces that Mr. Baron,
famous comic is about to leave the Variety Theatre, where he has enjoyed
a lasting success." Shown seated at a bar in the role of Secretary
to the Commissioner. His darkened nose and weary eyes display the
effects of too much drink, yet in his hat and high collar he remains
poised. The study implies the pompous self-importance of the typical
bureaucrat of the day, a subdued display of Lautrec's often scathing
wit. |
