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 dissolute 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 punctuated by scandal. Young Women from the Village set in the outskirts of Omans, was reproached nearly unanimously by critics, for the ugliness of the three young women and for the disproportionately small scale of the cattle, featured in the painting.
One of Gustave Courbet paintings on monumental canvas, The Painter's Studio : A Real Allegory Summing Up a Seven Year Phase of my Artistic Life, was rejected by the Exposition Universelle jury in 1855. As a retaliation, Gustave mounted his own exhibition of more than forty works in his Pavilion of Realism, built within sight of the official venue.
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.
