Two Men Working, Rear View is a 1905 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows two men from behind, bent over as if working. Their clothes are loose and simple, and the lines are quick and rough. The paper is light, almost like it’s just pencil on plain paper. The artist left their name and the year—1905—in the corner. The drawing feels hurried, like they were sketching fast to get the shapes right. Next, check out Théophile Alexandre Steinlen.
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.
