Gares 1916

"Gares" is a 1916 lithograph by the French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. The artwork depicts two figures, a woman and a man, standing against a blank background. The woman holds a basket in her left hand and a large object that is obscured by the man's clothing. Steinlen is best known for his depictions of Parisian life and often illustrated for newspapers and magazines. The artist's signature is clearly visible in the bottom right corner of the image. This lithograph is a fine example of his use of line and shading in his work.
