EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a detailed print of "The exit of the midinettes" by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen. Created before 1907, this artwork showcases the artist's mastery in charcoal and pastel on paper. Housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, PeuPalais, this piece is a testament to Steinlen's talent. In this particular detail, we see a group of young women known as midinettes leaving their place of work. These midinettes were young seamstresses who worked long hours in Parisian fashion houses during the early 20th century. Their presence symbolizes both labor and leisure as they leave behind their daily toil. The joyous expressions on their faces suggest camaraderie and friendship among these working-class women. They wear collars that signify their occupation while exuding an air of youthful energy and vitality. Steinlen's skillful drawing technique brings life to each figure, capturing not only their physical appearance but also their spirit. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into French society during the early years of the 20th century, showcasing both the hardships faced by laborers and moments of respite from everyday life. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this image allows us to appreciate Steinlen's artistry even from afar. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and capture fleeting moments for future generations to admire.
