Aptly titled "Jane Avril," celebrated lithograph artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures here, in static form, the very particular brand of motion Avril famously employed in her well attended dances at Le Moulin Rouge. Avril suffered from a rare neurological disorder then commonly known as "St. Vitus Dance" as a child and, unusually, it continued to affect her as an adult. The woman who would go on to become one of the most famous Moulin Rouge performers of all time credited dance as her means of controlling and overcoming the uncontrollable movements the disorder resulted in. Toulouse-Lautrec, in his hallmark concise manner of capturing great allure, here conveys the strength and beauty of Avril's dance as well as the the strength and beauty of the dancer herself, who was considered by the artist as a great friend.
