"The Coal Graders" (French: "Les Cribleuses de Charbon") is a notable painting created in 1905 by the Swiss-born French artist Théophile Alexandre Steinlen. Renowned for his keen observation of social conditions and his empathetic portrayal of the working class, Steinlen's work often reflects the struggles and dignity of laborers in early 20th-century France. This particular piece exemplifies his commitment to social realism and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life.

The painting depicts a group of women engaged in the arduous task of sorting coal, a common occupation during the industrial era. Steinlen's meticulous attention to detail and his use of somber, earthy tones convey the harsh realities of their labor-intensive work environment. The women's postures and expressions are rendered with a sensitivity that highlights their resilience and solidarity amidst the grueling conditions.

Steinlen's background as an illustrator and his involvement with the Montmartre artistic community, including his contributions to the famous cabaret Le Chat Noir, influenced his artistic style. His works often carried a strong narrative quality, and "The Coal Graders" is no exception. The painting not only serves as a visual document of the period but also as a commentary on the socio-economic disparities of the time.

"The Coal Graders" is part of a broader body of work by Steinlen that includes paintings, posters, and illustrations, many of which focus on the lives of the working poor. His art remains significant for its historical and cultural insights, as well as for its technical proficiency and emotional depth. Today, Steinlen is celebrated for his contributions to both fine art and popular culture, with "The Coal Graders" standing as a testament to his enduring legacy.
