La chienne au loup is a 1900 ink by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a romantic scene of a man and woman embracing in a forest, with the woman leaning into the man's chest. The man is dressed in dark attire, while the woman wears a long, flowing dress. In the background, a full moon shines brightly in the sky, casting a warm glow over the scene. The artist's use of brush and black ink with colored chalk creates a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. The surrounding foliage is rendered in soft, muted tones, allowing the couple to take center stage. For more works by this artist, explore the portfolio of Steinlen, Théophile Alexandre.
