"A La Goutte D'Or" is a black and white illustration by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, likely created as a cover for a musical piece by Aristide Bruant. The illustration depicts a Parisian couple, with the woman carrying a basket and the man standing beside her. Steinlen was a prominent Art Nouveau artist known for his depictions of Parisian life and this piece exemplifies his characteristic style. The work evokes a sense of the city's working class and the daily routines of ordinary people.
