Les petits joyeux

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a group of people in a street scene with musical notation. The image features a group of individuals walking arm in arm down a street, with buildings and other people visible in the background. The people are depicted in a lively manner. The right half of the image shows a bustling street scene. On the left, there is a printed piece of sheet music with the title "Les Petits Joyeux." The sheet music complements the scene by adding a musical element. The handwritten annotations and colored illustration combine to create a multifaceted composition.
