Divan Japonais, a renowned café-concert in late nineteenth-century Paris, captivated Toulouse-Lautrec as he frequented its vibrant ambiance. Among his notable works is a poster promoting the establishment, showcasing two beloved Montmartre stars, Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril. Interestingly, Avril assumes the role of a spectator in the foreground, accompanied by Édouard Dujardin, a fashionable writer and regular patron of the nightlife. In the upper left corner, the stage presents Guilbert's headless body, instantly recognizable by her signature long black gloves and slender figure.
