March 18 1894

"March 18", created in 1894 by Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, is a lithograph depicting a group of working-class individuals. The composition features a woman at the center, her arms raised in a gesture of defiance, surrounded by men armed with tools and weapons. The scene evokes a sense of unrest and social upheaval, reflecting Steinlen's concern for the plight of the working class in late 19th-century France. The artwork is characterized by its bold lines, expressive figures, and dramatic use of light and shadow, typical of Steinlen's graphic style. "March 18" remains a powerful visual commentary on social inequality and the struggle for workers' rights.
