Pours Les Refugies de la Meuse 

"Pours Les Refugies de la Meuse" is a powerful sketch by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist known for his black and white illustrations. The artwork depicts a group of refugees fleeing the Meuse region, likely during a period of conflict or hardship. The scene evokes a sense of urgency and desperation as the refugees seek shelter and escape. Steinlen's use of loose lines and shading creates a dynamic and expressive composition, highlighting the emotional weight of the situation. The artist's signature style, often seen in his illustrations for the magazine "Le Chat Noir," is evident in the expressive figures and dramatic use of light and shadow.
