At the Universal Exhibition: The visitor will find all means of transportation desirable to return to his hotel. is a 1867 by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a crowded scene around a large, boxy train car. People in fancy hats and coats push and lean in, some looking excited, others confused. One man clings to the side like he’s about to fall, while others wave or point toward the train. The train’s simple, rounded shape stands out—it’s not fancy, just functional. The artist made the scene feel busy and a little chaotic, like a real moment frozen in time. If you like this style, check out Realism next.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
