Les Ouvreuses 

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's "Les Ouvreuses" depicts a group of working-class women, likely maids or cleaning ladies, gathered in a hallway. The artist's use of charcoal creates a sense of both realism and melancholy, highlighting the hardships faced by women in these roles. The composition emphasizes the women's physical presence, while also suggesting their confinement within their working environment. Steinlen's depictions of Parisian life, often focused on working-class subjects, were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork's focus on everyday life and social commentary makes it a prime example of the Art Nouveau style.
