Road Through a Village 1902

Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's "Road Through a Village" is an etching, a printmaking technique where the artist etches a design into a metal plate, creating a unique impression. Created in 1902, this artwork depicts a quiet, almost deserted village street, lined with simple houses, a scene typical of Steinlen's interest in the everyday lives of ordinary people. The artist's distinctive use of black and white creates a sense of atmosphere and depth, capturing the mood of a late afternoon in this quaint village. "Road Through a Village" is currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago.
