Convoi Funèbre au Boulevard de Clichy (Funeral Procession on the Boulevard de Clichy)

Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a street scene with a horse-drawn carriage in the foreground. The road is busy with figures, carriages, and horses. Buildings line both sides of the street, leading to the horizon in the upper third of the image. The style features loose brushstrokes or etching lines to convey movement. The color palette is muted, with tones of sepia, blue, and black suggesting a nighttime or dusk setting. A moon is visible in the sky, surrounded by clouds.
