By February 1899, Toulouse-Lautrec's alcoholism began to take its toll, and he collapsed from exhaustion. His family had him committed to [[Folie Saint James|Folie Saint-James]], a sanatorium in [[Neuilly-sur-Seine]] for three months.<ref>{{cite book|editor=Clair, Jean|others=Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (France), National Gallery of Canada|title=The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown|year=2004|publisher=Yale University Press|isbn=978-0-300-10375-5|page=170}}</ref> While committed, he drew 39 circus portraits.

After Toulouse-Lautrec's death, his mother, ''[[Count|Comtesse]]'' Adèle de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa, and his art dealer, Maurice Joyant, continued promoting his artwork. His mother contributed funds for a museum to be created in [[Albi]], his birthplace, to show his works. The [[Musée Toulouse-Lautrec]] owns the most extensive collection of his works.
