Nach Paris. -moi aussi, chai des enfants c. 1914 - 1919

"Nach Paris. -moi aussi, chai des enfants," is an ink drawing by French artist Jean-Louis Forain, created around 1914-1919. The drawing depicts a scene of social commentary, likely set in a Parisian street. A man, wearing a coat and hat, holds a doll in his hand, possibly offering it to a young girl standing nearby. The figure of a sailor, standing on the right, adds a layer of symbolism and suggests the impact of war on civilian life. Forain's signature style, characterized by gestural lines and a focus on human interaction, adds a poignant dimension to the social satire present in this piece.
