The early Toulouse Lautrec paintings were drawn at a young age. Their favourite juvenile subject was the horse, as seen in the sketch of Two Riders on Horseback. This was probably a result of the influence from his first teacher, Rene Princeteau, a close family deaf mute friend, who painted fashionable sporting pictures.
In one of the Toulouse Lautrec paintings, known as The Streetwalker, Toulouse used oil thinned with turpentine on cardboard. This rendered visible his loose, sketchy brushwork. The transposition of this creature of the night to the bright light of day signalled Toulouse's fascination with sordid and dissolute subjects.
Divan Japonais was among the Toulouse Lautrec paintings featuring Toulouse's favourite cafe concert stars Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril. Yvette was known as a diseuse or speaker for the way she half-sung, half spoke her songs during performances. She had bright red hair, thin lips, a tall gaunt physique and wore black elbow-length gloves.
Gustave Courbet paintings were done in an emphatically realistic style, particularly in reference to a group of artwork that included The Stonebreakers and A Burial at Omans. The unvarnished realism of Gustave's imagery was dismissed and derided by critics for the ugliness of his figures they described as peasants in their Sunday best.
In one of Gustave Courbet paintings done on monumental canvas, The Painter's Studio, Gustave featured figures on the left, suggesting the various social types that appear in his canvases and figures on the right, portraying his friends and supporters. The meaning behind his unfinished painting remains enigmatic to this day.
It was during the 1850s that Gustave Courbet paintings went beyond the Omans subjects that had established his reputation. Among these paintings was a portrait of actor Louis Gueymard and society portraits on commission. There was the more intimate Jo, La Belle Irlandaise, a fusion of portraiture and genre painting.
