Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's 1896 lithograph "The Common Man" is a striking portrait of a working-class individual, rendered in a stark black and white palette. The subject's weathered face, framed by dark hair, speaks of hardship and resilience, reflecting the social realism that characterized Steinlen's art. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this poignant depiction of everyday life, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
