"L'Homme de Bronze" is a satirical black and white illustration by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. It depicts a large, stern-looking figure standing on a pedestal, symbolizing a powerful authority. Below him, a group of smaller figures struggle to hold the statue upright, highlighting the precariousness and absurdity of authority. Steinlen, known for his social commentary and artistic depictions of Parisian life, uses this cartoon to criticize the perceived corruption and hypocrisy of the ruling class. The artwork is a powerful example of Steinlen's use of caricature and satire to express his views on society.
