Félix-Hilaire Buhot

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a street scene with a dynamic etching style. The composition includes a high horizon line with a distant statue at the center, rain and reflections as key visual elements, and a monochrome color palette of black and white. In the foreground, a group of people walk on a wet surface, with a horse-drawn carriage moving behind them. Moving towards the background, a group of people are gathered in an area with trees on either side, suggesting an urban setting.
