Prophet (Le prophete)

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

In the image, there are several figures depicted. The central figure is standing upright with outstretched arms. This person has a beard and little to no hair on the head. The facial features are defined with shadowing, and the hair is short. They are wearing a long robe or garment. Surrounding this figure is a group of people looking towards them. The individuals have varying facial expressions, and some wear hats. The background has hatched lines for depth, making the figures stand out. The scene's edges have sketch-like quality lines, and the artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.
