Artist, French, 1847 - 1898

This is a drawing of a group of figures and animals on a bridge. The image shows silhouettes of people and animals crossing a bridge. The figures are in mid-motion, some are holding an umbrella and others are gesturing. Beneath the bridge, archways can be seen with indications of plants or trees. The style is reminiscent of 18th or 19th-century sketch work with simple lines, highlighting movement and travel. The illustration is in a reddish hue.
