Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of three figures in a cramped space, presumably inside a public transport vehicle. The image features exaggerated expressions and postures. The character to the left has a tired and disheveled appearance. In the center, a figure with a bonnet tilts their head to one side. To the right is another character who appears somewhat inebriated, slumping to one side with a top hat. Surrounding the image is French text.
