Chanson a Boire Preliminary sketch 1897

Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's preliminary sketch for "Chanson à Boire" from 1897 captures the artist's distinct style. This sketch depicts a lively scene featuring multiple figures, including a woman holding a glass, with lively facial expressions and dynamic poses. Steinlen's draftsmanship is evident in the loose lines and gestural strokes used to capture the movement and energy of the scene. "Chanson à Boire," a preliminary sketch for a larger work, demonstrates Steinlen's characteristic approach to capturing the vibrancy of Parisian life.
