"Madrigal D'Avril" is an artwork by Belgian artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923). The drawing showcases Steinlen's signature style of detailed, expressive lines, creating a captivating and intimate portrait of a couple in a moment of shared affection. The artwork's title, which translates to "April Madrigal", suggests a theme of romance and springtime renewal, further enhanced by the soft, reddish hues of the drawing. This artwork serves as a cover illustration for a song titled "Madrigal D'Avril" by Maurice Boukay and set to music by Edouard Ordonnaud.
