Girls Coming from School (Gamines sortant de l'ecole)

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image features three young girls walking side by side. The central girl is linking arms with the others. The girls have simplified facial features and curly/wavy hair. They are dressed in long, flowing clothes with capes. The girl closest to the viewer holds an open book. Other figures in the background are dressed similarly and appear to be children or young individuals walking in groups. The setting is outdoors with a minimalist background of a street or open space with a fence.
