Toulouse Lautrec - femme mettant son corset
I love this painting by Toulouse Lautrec showing a woman lacing up her own corset though I wish Toulouse was as obsessed with corsets as I am and showed more detail, it would be a fabulous piece to reconstruct!
Toulouse was a huge fan of burlesque and spent a lot of time in Moulin Rouge and similar cabaret houses doing many artistic studies of women.
