Chanteur Américain (American Singer)
This work, along with two others by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the Stieglitz Collection, was a part of his series Le Café Concert. The series aimed to illustrate the variety of people within the world of cabarets. The title identifies the man wearing a checkered suit as an American singer. He strides to the right, perhaps leaving after having just performed, or on the way to a cabaret.
