Traffic, Montmartre

About this work

This sketch shows a busy street scene with lots of people moving in different directions. Some are walking, others are sitting or standing still. The lines are loose and wavy, almost like quick scribbles. In the background, there’s a building with windows and a few trees at the top. The drawing feels a bit chaotic, with overlapping figures and no clear focus. It’s like the artist was trying to capture the energy of a crowded place in a hurry.
