About this work

This sketch shows a busy street scene where people are moving furniture. A woman in a long coat walks beside a cart piled with chairs and a mattress. A man in a cap pushes the cart, while others carry boxes or stand around. Buildings line the street, with smoke rising from a chimney in the background. The artist focused on everyday life, not fancy scenes. The quick, loose lines give it a rough, real feel—like a snapshot of a moment. Next, check out Jean-François Raffaëlli.
