About the Item

This beautiful pencil drawing, created in 1905 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859–1923), depicts a delicate female nude. The work is monogrammed "ST" in the lower right corner and demonstrates the mastery of this essential Belle Époque artist, a major figure in the Parisian art scene during the Art Nouveau period. Steinlen is primarily known for his iconic posters for the Le Chat Noir cabaret in Paris's Montmartre district, as well as for his scenes of popular life and his numerous portraits of women and cats. This drawing is part of a more intimate and sensitive body of work, in which the artist explores the female body with great restraint and natural elegance. The pencil, used with finesse, reveals a lively, almost spontaneous study, capturing the model's grace without artifice. This is an authentic work, ideal for graphic art lovers or collectors of Symbolist and Post-Impressionist works.
