Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen's "Elle" is a black and white lithograph depicting a woman seated in a forest clearing, with a man lying down in her lap. The woman appears to be looking down at the man as she rests her hand on his chest. The work is noted for its melancholic and romantic tone, typical of Steinlen's oeuvre. "Elle" is a notable example of Steinlen's artistic style, known for its masterful use of line and shading, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere within the composition.
