Femme de Chagrin 1894

"Femme de Chagrin" (1894) is a black and white lithograph by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a prominent French artist known for his depictions of Parisian life. The artwork features a woman with a child in her arms, both sitting near a window looking out into a stormy cityscape. Steinlen's signature style is evident in the use of strong lines and dramatic chiaroscuro, which adds a sense of melancholy and hardship to the scene, characteristic of his artistic themes.
