Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's 1902 etching "Woman Bathing her Feet" depicts a woman seated on a chair, bending over to wash her foot. Created with masterful use of light and shadow, the artist's characteristic style of black and white, with detailed lines and bold forms, is prominently featured. The print captures a moment of everyday intimacy, highlighting the simple beauty of the human form, a signature theme in Steinlen's work.

This is the presentation proof given by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen to his French publisher, Eugène Delâtre. Steinlen's gesture is indicated by the inscription, where he signed his name in pencil and wrote "à Eug. Delâtre."
