Messaline
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "Messaline" depicts the Roman empress with dramatic flair, clothed in a vivid red gown, evoking her notorious allure and power. The inclusion of Roman soldiers adds to the theatrical setting, reflecting Lautrec's fascination with the themes of decadence and spectacle.

The Young Routy Céleyran
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "The Young Routy Céleyran" captures a contemplative moment in a rustic landscape, depicting a seated figure in casual attire and a hat. With soft brushwork and a pastel color palette, the artwork reflects Lautrec’s keen observation of everyday life and his ability to convey the personality of his subjects.

The passenger in cabin 54
This artwork, "The Passenger in Cabin 54" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, depicts a serene scene on a ship's deck, with a woman comfortably seated in a striped chair, gazing out to sea. The use of bold outlines and muted colors is typical of Lautrec’s style, capturing the leisure and elegance of the period’s upper-class travel.

I always found it admirable that Dolly seemed totally awestruck by Whitney’s “I Will Always Love You”

No jealousy, no protectiveness of her own work, just joy that somebody had taken the song she wrote and made something new and special out of it.
confirming this. Parton also publicly stated she liked Houston's version of the song better than her own. 14] Parton recalled that when she first heard the song while driving in Nashville the week of its release that she "just heard this voice come on the radio. It kind of rang a bell, but it didn't hit because she was kind of talking it. Then, all of a sudden, it went into the l Will Always Love You' part and I just about wrecked. I had to pull off the side of the road, seriously, to listen to it." 216] Parton stated that she was "overwhelmed" and that Houston "made it so much more than it ever would have been."(216][217) In an interview with Howard Stern, Parton added "I couldn't believe my little country sad song could even be done like that. That was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my entire life." 29] Houston told Rolling Stone in 1993, "I think Dolly Parton is a hell of a writer and a hell of a singer. I was so concerned when I sang her song how she'd feel about it, in terms of the arrangement, my licks, my flavor. When she said she was floored, that meant so much to me." 28]
