He became enamoured with her in 1895 when she was dancing in the role of Queen Galswinthe in Hervé’s operetta ‘Chilpéric’ at the Théâtre des Variétés.  During the three-month run, he attended around two dozen times, often arriving just in time for Lender’s celebrated bolero in the second act.\r\nHe made six lithographs, including this one, directly inspired by this particular performance, and a large painting later owned by Betsey Cushing Roosevelt Whitney, since donated to the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. (1990.127.1). Toulouse-Lautrec was persistent in following her around town and rudely staring at her in restaurants. He completed the painting in just a few weeks and planned to gift it to her but she was not altogether impressed.  Lender was quoted by the journalist Albert Flament as saying \"That horrible man! He is very fond of me…but, as far as the portrait’s concerned, you can have it\".  \r\n","physicalDescription":"Colour lithograph depicting the French entertainer, Marcelle Lender.
