About this work

You see two people struggling against strong wind, with their clothes blowing wildly. Their faces are scrunched up, and they're holding onto their hats. This painting is interesting because it shows how the artist used exaggeration to convey a sense of movement and energy. The people in the scene are caricatures, with big features and funny expressions. Check out the work of artist: Daumier, Honoré.
