This sketch shows two street scenes side by side. On the left, a man in a long coat and hat stands near a poster-covered pole, reading a paper. Trees without leaves line the sidewalk, and a horse-drawn cart is in the distance. The right side shows bare trees along a path, with a lamppost and a lone figure walking away. The poster on the left advertises a theater called *Théâtre Libre*, which was known for new plays. The loose, sketchy lines and muted colors fit the style of quick, everyday scenes. Check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints with stone and ink.
