Place Pigalle en 1878 is a 1878 by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy Paris street corner with horses, carriages, and people. A woman sits alone on steps, holding an umbrella. Buildings line the street, and a sign says "Tout Paris." The scene looks messy but lively, with quick, sketchy lines. Notice how the artist focused on everyday life—no fancy poses, just real moments. The rough, fast strokes make it feel like a snapshot.
