This painting depicts a lively street scene, with a green tram in the foreground. The tram is filled with people, some of whom are standing and others sitting, all facing different directions. A sign on the tram reads "Pantheon" and "Exposit," while another sign on the side of the tram displays the word "Cainclet." In the background, a cityscape unfolds, featuring buildings and a horse-drawn carriage. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and movement. A notable detail in the painting is the use of oil paint, which adds depth and texture to the scene. The artist's skillful use of color and composition creates a sense of energy and dynamism.
