Eugène Grasset was best known for idealized and decorative images of women. This lithograph, however, focuses on a darker theme—morphine addiction. A young woman is shown at the height of withdrawal as she injects herself with the drug. The syringe was invented just a few decades prior, and its inclusion was meant to give the image a sense of modernity.
