"Le Petit Mitron" is a charcoal drawing by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist known for his depictions of Parisian street life. The artwork portrays a poignant scene of a man carrying a heavy load, likely a basket of bread, while a young boy lies injured on the ground. The stark contrast between the man's burdened figure and the boy's vulnerability emphasizes the harsh realities of poverty and hardship in early 20th-century Paris. Steinlen's use of expressive lines and contrasting tones effectively captures the mood of the scene, adding to the emotional impact of this evocative portrayal of social inequality.
