Highlights

a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, depicting a lively scene at a French cabaret. The central figure is a performer, dressed in a vibrant yellow blouse with ruffled sleeves and dark green pants, with one hand resting casually in their pocket. The performer's face is pale with bold red lips, and they wear a distinctive yellow hat adorned with a white feather. In the background, other figures, likely patrons of the cabaret, engage in conversation. The scene is set against a richly detailed backdrop that suggests the interior of a bustling entertainment venue, likely the Moulin Rouge or a similar location, common in Toulouse-Lautrec's work. The artist's use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes captures the vibrant energy of Parisian nightlife during the late 19th century.

a painting by Wayne Thiebaud, depicting a display of various cakes arranged neatly on individual white cake stands. The cakes are rendered with thick, creamy layers of paint, emphasizing their rich textures and colors. Each cake is distinct, with different designs and decorations, such as a heart, spirals, cherries, and floral motifs. The composition is orderly, with the cakes placed in a grid-like formation, creating a sense of both abundance and simplicity. The background is a pale, almost white surface, which contrasts with the vividness of the cakes, drawing attention to their details. The overall effect is both whimsical and slightly nostalgic, evoking the feel of a classic bakery display.
