Eenzame wandelaar in landschap met kale boom 1869 - 1923

"Eenzame wandelaar in landschap met kale boom" (Lonely Walker in Landscape with Bare Tree) is a pen and ink drawing by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a celebrated French artist known for his expressive depictions of Parisian life. Dated between 1869 and 1923, this small-scale work (274 mm x 213 mm) showcases Steinlen's signature style, characterized by simplified lines and a focus on the evocative power of everyday scenes. The drawing portrays a solitary figure walking in a vast landscape, with a single bare tree providing a stark counterpoint to the emptiness of the surroundings. This minimalist approach underscores the feeling of isolation and contemplation.
