Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

The drawing shows two figures in Paris bracing against a strong wind. Their clothing is billowing dramatically and their garments are inflated by the gusts. An object is flying in the air. In the background, there are shapes suggesting trees and buildings. The drawing uses expressive lines to convey movement and the weather's impact.
