In this exquisite comical piece, entitled "Early Morning"
Lautrec takes us into a bedroom, perhaps in one of his own well-frequented
brothels, or to the apartment of some puritanical bureaucrat, he so
loved to debase. We find a gentleman in bed, showing the effects of
the previous nights frivolity, looking up at a woman, his mistress
or a prostitute. Smiling she presents her bared breasts to him and
asks, "What would you like for breakfast?" The implication
is clear and the scene is Lautrec at his mischievous best. |
