Félix Vallotton was a leading figure in the Nabis group, and this print reflects the era's fascination with anarchism and social upheaval in Belle Époque Paris. His stark, flat black-and-white aesthetic was highly influential, prefiguring the graphic novel format by stripping away detail to focus on movement and atmospheric tension.
