1913
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Big Sister (La Grande Soeur) is a 1913 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a woman stands to the right, holding a child in her arms. She wears a long dress and has her hair pulled back. A small dog lies on the floor to her left. The background is a plain, light color. The woman's expression is gentle, and she gazes down at the child. The child looks up at her, and the dog seems to be watching them. The scene is quiet and intimate. This painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (November 10, 1859 – December 13, 1923), was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker. He was politically engaged and collaborated with the anarchist and socialist press.
