The name Lautrec is sufficient to imagine Paris at the end of the ‘800 and its bohemian lifestyle.
Dans le lit gives a glimpse of that world and depicts two female figures, probably prostitutes, in bed while kissing. It is part of a series of works, made between 1892 and 1893, focused on the relationship between two women caught in their intimacy. Initially the work ended up on the walls of a brothel on Rue d'Amboise of which the artist was a customer, but now it belongs to a private collector.
