In the Rain: Mother and Children (Sous la pluie: La mere et les enfants)

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of figures walking against the wind. The image depicts three figures on the left struggling to move forward as they battle against a strong wind. The figures appear determined and resilient, their clothes and hair flowing backward. The background shows a simple, abstract landscape of swirling lines. This minimalistic style focuses on the movement and struggle against the elements.
