Peace in the Streets

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large man standing in a commanding position with one hand on his hip. He has a prominent mustache, a strong jawline, and wears a helmet with a small insignia. He is dressed in a dark formal uniform with buttons down the front, a belt with a large buckle, and a chest strap leading to a side pouch. The man's expression is stern. Surrounding him are sketched figures suggesting a busy urban street scene with blurred buildings in the background.
