Errant dogs 1915

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 1915 lithograph, "Errant Dogs", is a poignant depiction of two men in military garb standing on a Parisian street. The men, with their faces obscured, are silhouetted against a backdrop of a building, adding a sense of mystery and melancholia to the scene. In the distance, a small dog walks away, further emphasizing the solitary and forlorn atmosphere. This work, characteristic of Steinlen's signature style, is a powerful example of social realism, reflecting the human condition in the midst of wartime.
