This image captures the bustling activity of urban Paris in the late 19th century. A fashionable woman climbs into a fiacre—a four-wheel carriage—from the street curb. Her driver, seated at front, watches as she enters. The artist’s loose, sketchy rendering of the charcoal further emphasizes the sensation of busy city life evoked in this drawing.
