# Justine Dieuhl in the Garden of Père Forest [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on cardboard, 74 x 58 cm ## Commentary Justine Dieuhl is sitting in a garden or small park-like area below Montmartre's cemetery. The owner of this half-wild, half-cultivated garden was Père Forest, an enthusiastic archer. The garden was open to the public, thus Lautrec, whose studio was nearby, often came here to paint in the open air. The influence of van Gogh on Lautrec's developing style as a painter is evident in numerous pictures, above all in the present portrait. Characteristic of Lautrec's manner of painting at this time are the long, broad brush strokes with paint scarcely thinned at all. ## Related artworks - [A Corner of the Moulin de la Galette]() - [Admiral Viaud]() - [After the Meal]() - [Alfred la Guigne]() - [Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant]() - [Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant]() - [An Examination at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris]() - [At the Circus: Horse and Monkes Dressage]() - [At the Moulin Rouge: La Goulue and her Sister]() - [At the Moulin Rouge or The Promenade]() - [At the Moulin Rouge]() - [At the Moulin Rouge]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
