EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Pierreuses," a captivating sketch dating back to circa 1901, showcases a determined woman standing steadfast against the fierce gusts of wind in a quaint French town. The lady, with an unyielding expression etched on her face, clutches her hat and skirt as she bravely battles the elements. In the background, other figures huddle together, shielding themselves from the relentless wind, their expressions a mix of awe and admiration. This evocative work of art is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of nature. The sketch, a masterpiece from the esteemed collection "Albums Maitres de la Caricature" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, was first published in the French satirical weekly magazine "La Vie Parisienne" in April 1911, issue 11. Steinlen, a renowned Swiss artist, was known for his humorous and thought-provoking illustrations, which often depicted everyday life with a satirical twist. In "Les Pierreuses," he captures the essence of a woman's tenacity in the face of adversity, making it a beloved and enduring image. This sketch, with its rich history and timeless message, is a must-have addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past while inspiring a sense of strength and determination for the present and future.
