Typically, Steinlen's works are of domestic scenes with children and cats reminiscent of Picasso's Blue period. Many of his designs were exceptional with a strong popular appeal. His works are in the permanent collections of the Berlin Galerie Nationale and Le Chemineau at Lausanne.; Steinlen was fascinated with cats and did a bronze "Angora". He was known as an artist of the street and was a participant in the Salon des Humoristes. He created in total 382 original lithographs and 115 etchings.
