Le Déménagement

Jean-François Raffaëlli

Cleveland Museum of Art

The drawing depicts a scene of people moving furniture on a cart through a street. The cart is loaded with various items, including a chair and a mattress. A woman wearing a long brown dress and a man in a green jacket are pushing the cart. The woman is on the left side of the cart and the man on the right. The cart has one large wheel in the front and two smaller wheels in the back. The street is lined with buildings, one of which appears to be a residential building with many windows. There are several people standing around, watching the scene. In the background, there is a smokestack with smoke coming out of it. The sky is light-colored with some clouds. The drawing is signed in the bottom-right corner.
