About this work

In the painting, a horse-drawn carriage is shown moving down a street lined with buildings. People are walking along the street, and the sky is filled with clouds. The scene is depicted in shades of blue-green and brown-black. The image appears to be a cityscape, with the focus on a funeral procession. The use of blue-green and brown-black tones gives the scene a somber mood. This painting is an example of Impressionism and Realism, and it is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
