This etching by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen depicts a young girl, likely a flower seller, walking down a street in a city. The girl is depicted in a simple dress and carrying a basket of flowers, and her figure is slightly hunched over, perhaps from exhaustion or the weight of her basket. The use of dark tones and the subject's pose create a sense of melancholy, perhaps emphasizing the hardship faced by children in the working class. Steinlen was a prominent Art Nouveau artist, and this work reflects the movement's interest in depicting urban life and social issues.
