Franse officieren 1869 - 1923

"Franse Officieren" (French Officers) is a charcoal drawing by the French artist Théophile Steinlen. It depicts the heads and shoulders of three French officers, with the focus on a central figure with a mustache. The loose, gestural style of the drawing is typical of Steinlen's work and conveys a sense of immediacy. The officers are likely depicted in the context of the Franco-Prussian War or World War I, reflecting Steinlen's interest in depicting the lives of everyday people, especially in the working class.
