 Toulouse-Lautrec: Biographies - Jane Avril
famous dancer Jane Avril (1868-1943) was the daughter of a demi-mondaine known as La Belle Elise and the Marchese Luigi de Font, an Italian aristocrat from whom Jane's mother extracted minimal support after he left her.
It was at a party they gave in her honor that Jane first displayed her joy in music and dancing.
Her admirers somehow tracked her down and, in 1941, arranged a celebratory "grand finale" for her in the capital - at which the white-haired Jane improvised a mesmerizing dance that brought back the grace of earlier years.

Toulouse-Lautrec's last poster for JANE AVRIL was also one of the last he ever made, as shortly after he completed it he entered a sanatorium for the first of several recuperative stays.
In the art nouveau period, the snake is an image fraught with symbolism, and it may have been meant to suggest that Jane was being stifled as an artist—perhaps by her own passions, perhaps by the art of her time.
Whatever the symbolism, it is something of a departure for the artist, with only the performer's image on white background—unlike any other poster he ever did.

 Toulouse-Lautrec: Jane Avril
She began her career as a dancer at the Moulin-Rouge in 1889, developing a relatively refined style that contrasted with the vulgar exhibitionism of La Goulue.
A publicity photo of Avril performing a high kick from the quadrille is thought to have served as Lautrec's model for the poster's preparatory oil sketch.
It serves as an attention-grabber and also accompanies the rhythms of Jane's solo, repeating the shape of her skirts and relating her kicks to the musical source.

 Toulouse-Lautrec: Jane Avril
snake costume was probably an invention of Lautrec's rather than one that Jane Avril actually wore in a dance, which may be why her manager rejected the poster and it was never used.
In comparison to the poster made of her six years before, this design shows both Avril and Lautrec under the sway of Art Nouveau.
Janes's form-fitting dress departs entirely from the bonnets, aprons, petticoats, and full skirts of her earlier costume, and one might assume that her dancing had changed to a similarly sophisticated style.
