La Chanson Des Poilus 1916

"La Chanson Des Poilus" is a 1916 artwork by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, a French artist known for his black and white drawings and posters. The artwork depicts a group of French soldiers marching in a line, with the focus on a single soldier in the foreground. The title of the artwork, meaning "The Song of the Poilus," is likely a reference to the French soldiers who fought in World War I. Steinlen's depiction captures the solemnity and hardship of wartime, while the use of simple lines and muted tones conveys the somber mood of the piece.
