Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 'Sailors' Wives' (1896) portrays a group of women anxiously watching the sea, awaiting the return of their husbands. This coloured crayon drawing captures a poignant moment of shared anxiety and hope.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen's 'Sailors' Wives', created in 1896, captures a poignant scene of women anxiously watching the sea, likely awaiting the return of their seafaring husbands. Steinlen, a French artist known for his contributions to Art Nouveau and his social commentary, imbues this work with a sense of quiet tension. The women, rendered in soft coloured crayon, are depicted in traditional garb, their faces etched with worry. The turbulent sea in the background mirrors their inner turmoil, while the huddled group suggests a shared experience of anxiety and hope. Steinlen's sensitive portrayal of these women elevates the everyday to a moment of profound human connection. This print offers a glimpse into a specific historical context, while also resonating with universal themes of love, loss, and resilience. It would make a thoughtful and evocative addition to any home, sparking conversation and contemplation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
