Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's "Sheet of Sketches: Men, Women and Cats (recto); Sheet of Sketches: Men and Women (verso)" is a collection of quick sketches made between 1879 and 1923, highlighting the artist's characteristic style. Steinlen, known for his depictions of Parisian street life, particularly cats, captured the essence of his subjects through loose, expressive lines, primarily in blue pencil. The sketches include figures, both full-bodied and portraits, as well as a few felines, creating a dynamic composition that speaks to the artist's observational skills and his interest in the human condition.
