Les Gaudissarts 1892

"Les Gaudissarts," created in 1892 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, is a black and white lithograph depicting a group of men in top hats gathered around a table, engaging in a game of cards. Steinlen, known for his artistic contributions to the Belle Époque era, captures the essence of Parisian nightlife and the social scene, with his characteristic use of exaggerated features and expressive lines. This satirical depiction of a social gathering, likely a high-stakes card game, highlights the artist's sharp social commentary and visual storytelling.
