This print was included in an album devoted to Yvette Guilbert. She specialized in melancholy chansons sung in a shrill or piercing tone. Lautrec here made a penetrating and slightly macabre portrait of the cabaret singer with her pale painted face. Some felt that Guilbert, not known for her beauty, should have put a stop to such representations of herself. Her craving for publicity had blinded her.
