Exodus (L'exode)

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image is an etching depicting multiple people sitting together. The scene shows three individuals huddled close to one another on the ground. The figures are bundled in heavy clothing, with hoods and hats covering their heads. The person on the far left appears to have a beard. One person holds what appears to be a child wrapped in layers. The ground around them suggests a barren landscape. In the background, lines sketch the suggestion of a hill or mountain range under a textured sky. The image uses shading to convey depth and texture.
