This sketch shows two men in a hurry on a snowy street. One wears a long coat and hat, struggling to walk, while the other in a top hat carries a heavy box. Their faces look frustrated, and the ground is messy with slush. The title at the bottom reads *"Onze degrés centigrades!"*—a joke about how cold 11 degrees Celsius really feels. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to make the scene feel fast and messy. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
