Anquetin left Eure, near Rouen, went to Paris in 1882 to study art and soon met Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. The artists became friends and later moved into the studio of the artist Fernand Cormon, where they befriended Émile Bernard and Vincent van Gogh. During the late 1880s, Anquetin and Bernard developed a painting style that used flat regions of color and thick, black contour outlines.
