Les Quatre Dames 

"Les Quatre Dames" is a captivating black and white drawing by the renowned French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. This illustration depicts a seated man at a desk, engrossed in his work, while four ethereal figures, possibly muses, hover above him. The hazy, flowing lines of the figures and the stark contrast between the man and his spectral companions create a sense of both mystery and intimacy. Steinlen's work is often associated with Art Nouveau and the Belle Époque era and was renowned for its depictions of Parisian life and its elegant, sometimes melancholic, style.
