## Commentary

This painting is a study for the left background section of In the Salon of the Rue des Moulins. The picture is dominated by the imperious pose of Rolande, one of the models Lautrec painted many times during his stays in the brothel, which often lasted weeks at a time. The final painting differs from this study in its harmonisation of colour as well as in its more relaxed composition.
