About this work

This print shows a busy city scene with three panels. On the left, people in fancy 19th-century clothes walk past buildings and a clock tower. In the middle, a crowd gathers under a bridge, with a hot-air balloon floating above. The right panel features a horse-drawn carriage and more people, some standing, others sitting on the ground. The balloon in the middle panel is a small but striking detail—it stands out against the crowded street. This print mixes detailed figures with bold colors and simple shapes, making it feel lively.
