About the piece
Painted in 1903 by Théophile Steinlen, this evocative work titled 'Les Pauvres Gens' (The Poor People) captures a quiet, intimate moment of a couple observing sleeping children. The deep shadows and restricted palette create a powerful sense of atmosphere and empathy, characteristic of Steinlen's focus on social realism and the human condition.
