About this work

This drawing shows a busy street scene during a carnival. People in old-fashioned clothes are laughing, dancing, and playing. Some kids are running around, while adults watch or join in. In the center, a tall float with a man holding a sword and a woman in a fancy dress stands out. Flags and banners add to the festive chaos. The crowd includes soldiers, children, and people in colorful costumes, all mixed together. The background has a tent and trees, making it feel like an outdoor celebration. Next, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see where this drawing is kept.
