Marcelle Lender performing the Bolero in Chilpéric (1895-1896) by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec poster

High kicks. Twirling skirts. A buzzing Parisian venue. This poster captures the lively can-can scene from Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the sharp-eyed chronicler of Montmartre’s nightlife. His bold lines, cropped angles and flat colour blocks turn motion into art. Rich emerald greens blend with coral reds and soft pinks, while smoky blues calm the busy crowd. The effect is both dramatic and fresh.

We’re taken by how the dancer’s sweeping skirt creates a dynamic rhythm. Figures fade into layered groups, then pop forward with strong outlines. It’s a brilliant study in composition: energy upfront, mood behind. This print comes in various sizes, perfect for adding a splash of culture to your Kiwi home, whether on a gallery wall or as a standout feature.

• Colours pair beautifully with warm timber, brass details, and rich green fabrics.
• Ideal for a hallway, dining spot, or music nook craving a touch of flair.
• A taste of Parisian nightlife without the late-night taxi fare.
