La Cite Rouge 

"La Cite Rouge" is a poignant illustration by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist who specialized in capturing the gritty reality of urban life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork depicts a somber scene, likely set in a Parisian alleyway, where a group of impoverished individuals, including women and children, stand huddled together. The artist's masterful use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the stark contrast between the characters' worn clothing and the rough cobblestone street. Steinlen's work often explores themes of social injustice and poverty, making "La Cite Rouge" a powerful testament to the struggles faced by the working class in his time.
