THEOPHILE-ALEXANDRE STEINLEN (1859-1923) [DRAWING.]
151/8x121/8 inches.
Condition A-: minor glue stains in margins; time staining. Paper.
A charcoal drawing of three young girls who might well be prostitutes rendered in Steinlen's caricature style. The two girls on the right with their angular faces seem to envy the third, more attractively depicted. Both in its subject matter and realization it is an archetypal work by Steinlen.
