"Portrait de Madame Steinlen" is a charcoal drawing created by French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, best known for his iconic posters of the Belle Époque. The piece features a woman with her eyes closed, rendered in a realistic style with emphasis on the subject's features. The use of charcoal creates a soft, expressive quality, typical of Steinlen's work, and the overall mood of the portrait is one of quiet contemplation. The artist's signature can be seen in the lower right corner.
