La Rafle

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of a group scene with various figures lined up near a small building or vehicle. The composition includes people dressed in period clothing standing in line. One person in a black and red uniform stands aside with a neutral expression. The style hints at a historical setting, with clean lines and soft colors showing everyday life. The background shows urban architecture and additional figures in a queue, suggesting a busy environment typical of a past era.
