The print depicts a bearded man, likely the author and entertainer Jean Goudezki, sitting up in bed, looking out a window at a crescent moon. The title refers to a night without sleep, a feeling of restlessness or introspection.
Toulouse-Lautrec was known for documenting the vibrant, and sometimes raw, nightlife of Paris during the Belle Époque. This work showcases his strong outlines and unconventional composition, which were heavily influenced by Japanese woodblock prints (ukiyo-e). The monochromatic style emphasizes the dramatic lighting and mood of the scene.
