Le spectacle est une chose bonne pour le peuple de Paris ...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of people standing closely together. One person is a child seated on the shoulders of an adult man, holding onto the man's head for support. The child has short, slightly tousled hair. The man carrying the child has a rounded face and is wearing a loose-fitting jacket. Other people in the crowd include an older man with a pronounced nose and a tall hat, and several others of varying ages, mostly wearing hats. The scene is drawn in a dark, shaded style. The background is indistinct and appears to be part of a larger crowd.
