"Aid to Those Mutilated in the War," a lithograph created in 1915 by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, depicts a poignant scene of a wounded soldier, leaning on a crutch, being supported by a woman. The somber tone and the simple yet powerful composition effectively communicate the hardship and resilience of wartime life, emphasizing the importance of support and compassion during such difficult times. This artwork, held in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a powerful testament to the impact of war and the human spirit's ability to endure.
