L'Accident (The Accident) is a 1893 ink by Félix Vallotton, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a chaotic street scene with a horse and carriage in the middle of a crash. People are scattered around—some are standing, others are helping or looking on, and one person lies on the ground. The drawing is simple but full of movement, with bold lines and no extra details. The title *L'Accident* (The Accident) hints this is about a real-life moment, not a fancy scene. The artist used a technique called lithography to make this print, which explains the clean lines and flat colors. Next, check out lithography to see how artists like Vallotton made prints like this.
