He uses rich shading and places his characters in a 3-dimensional setting, making Au Theatre Libre, Antoine Dans 'l'inquietude' one of his rare ventures away from his iconic poster-driven creations. Featuring expressive, animated strokes throughout the composition, we are pulled into a scene already in action. Antoine is revealed with his back to us, his profile barely visible beneath the rim of his well-shaded cap. The woman he is speaking with has an air of fatigue, whose costume, posture, and expression all serve to translate Toulouse-Lautrec's interpretation of L'Inquietude, or 'Worry.' Highly engaging, rich in emotion and depth, another side to Toulouse-Lautrec's creativity and talent is brought to light with this stellar print. Created in 1893, this work features Toulouse-Lautrec's red monogram stamp in the lower left in addition to his monogram in the stone in the lower right. It was printed by Ancourt, Paris and published by L'Escarmouche and reproduced in the January 14, 1894 issue of the magazine in its first and only edition.
