"La Ville Lointaine" is a lithograph by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist known for his depictions of Parisian life. The piece depicts a family, likely impoverished, walking away from a city in the distance, a visual narrative of migration or displacement. The woman carries a young child while a man, burdened by a heavy bag, walks with a cane. The starkness of the figures against the wide, open landscape emphasizes their vulnerability. This lithograph, created in the late 19th or early 20th century, exemplifies Steinlen's mastery of social commentary through art.
