介绍（中）	Toulous-Lautrec在他的整个职业生涯中都画漫画，从他十几岁时制作的充满小图画的相册开始。多年后，当他坐在巴黎的俱乐部和咖啡馆里时，他仍然在为他遇到的人画幽默的素描。他的数百幅漫画风格各异，从人物的示意图轮廓到更完整和传统的"肖像收费"，运动大头和小身体。这种充满活力的小丑早期绘画属于夸张素描的范畴。由于小丑一开始就看起来很有趣，因此很难确定交叉的眼睛和巨大的胡须在多大程度上是男人实际外表的一部分。然而，轻快的线条使他看起来很狂野，使这幅画完全处于图卢兹-劳特累克漫画的范围内。这些漫画为艺术家的其他作品提供了信息，包括他对歌谱、菜单、戏剧节目、海报和"Le Rire"等期刊的幽默设计。
介绍（英）	Toulous-Lautrec drew caricatures throughout his career, beginning with the albums filled with small drawings that he made as a teenager. As he sat in Parisian clubs and cafes years later, he was still producing humorous sketches of the people he encountered. His hundreds of caricatures are varied in style, ranging from schematic outlines of figures to more finished and traditional "portraits-charges" sporting big heads and small bodies. This vigorous early drawing of a clown falls into the category of exaggerated sketch. Since clowns are meant to look funny to begin with, it is diffcult to asses to what degree the crossed eyes and enormous mustache were part of the man's actual appearance. Yet the brisk lines that give him a wild look place the drawing well within the realm of Toulouse-Lautrec's caricatures. Such caricatures informed much of the artist's other work including his humorous designs for song sheets, menus, theater programs, posters, and such journals as "Le Rire".
