Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a street scene featuring two individuals trying to catch a stagecoach in the rain. The artwork displays a bustling urban scene with a coach marked "complet" indicating it is full, moving away along a cobbled street lined with tall, narrow buildings. The figures, dressed in mid-19th-century attire, appear to be caught in the wind and rain. The stippled shading and detailed line work are characteristic of engravings from this period. The expressive gestures and composition suggest an illustration style reminiscent of Honoré Daumier.
