More about this artwork
"Deux femmes en robe," crafted by renowned artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, is a compelling artwork that captivates viewers with its intimate portrayal of two women. In this beautiful composition, Steinlen utilizes pastel hues to highlight the delicate features and expressive eyes of the women, suggesting a moment of contemplation or intimate conversation.Foregrounded in the image is a woman dressed in a white robe or dress with a simple flower embellishment, leaning over a balcony or ledge. Her dark hair and pensive expression draw the observer into a personal space, perhaps indicative of introspection or silent dialogue. Behind her, another woman, slightly overshadowed yet evident, emerges to suggest support or companionship. Her gaze gently directed towards the distance evokes a sense of shared understanding or mutual concern, adding layers of narrative depth to the scene.The backdrop, composed of dark and brooding foliage, contrasts with the serene colors of the women's attire, contributing a dynamic and somewhat mysterious aura to the atmosphere. This interplay between light and dark, detail and silhouette, creates a visual tension that enhances the emotional gravity of the scene.This artwork not only showcases Steinlen's mastery in capturing human emotions and moments of quietude but also evokes a poignant reflection on the complexity of relationships and inner lives.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, was a Swiss-born French Art Nouveau painter and printmaker.
Born in Lausanne, Steinlen studied at the University of Lausanne before taking a job as a designer trainee at a textile mill in Mulhouse in eastern France. In his early twenties he was still developing his skills as a painter when he and his wife Emilie were encouraged by the painter François Bocion to move to the artistic community in the Montmartre Quarter of Paris. Once there, Steinlen was befriended by the painter Adolphe Willette who introduced him to the artistic crowd at Le Chat Noir that led to his commissions to do poster art for the cabaret owner/entertainer, Aristide Bruant and other commercial enterprises.
