Book jacket for "Les Rassemblements"

Félix Vallotton

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a Parisian street scene. It depicts a busy street with figures of different social classes, some in elegant attire and others in simpler clothing. A cart with a banner advertising "Les Rassemblements" is in the scene, surrounded by figures engaged in conversation or activities. The drawing uses strong black lines and flat areas of color to convey movement, with distinct fashion elements and urban architecture evoking Paris in the late 19th century.
