Maxime Dethomas (1868-1928), painter and graphic artist, was a friend of Lautrec's and one of his favoured companions on brother-crawls. His painting was strongly influenced by Lautrec, with whom he travelled to Normandy and Holland. Dethomas was tall and chubby but, in spite of his stature, tended to be insecure.
