Miners with Lanterns 

"Miners with Lanterns" is a charcoal drawing by the French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. The artwork depicts a group of miners, likely returning from a shift, standing in a dark, dimly lit space. Their figures are mostly obscured by shadows, with only their silhouettes and the faint glow of their lanterns visible. Steinlen was known for his social realist works and this drawing reflects his interest in the lives of ordinary people, particularly those who labored in difficult conditions. It captures the harsh realities of the working class in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting their fatigue and the bleakness of their environment. The drawing's simplicity and muted tones create a sense of melancholy and poignancy.
