Omnibus et fiacres 1895 - 1905

"Omnibus et fiacres" is a pencil sketch by Frédéric Houbron, a French artist known for his depictions of everyday life in Paris. Created between 1895 and 1905, the sketch captures the dynamism of horse-drawn carriages, a common mode of transportation in the late 19th century. The loose and gestural lines of the drawing evoke the movement and energy of the scene, with the figures and carriages appearing almost as if they are in motion. Houbron's work, often characterized by a spontaneous style, provides a glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris during this era. The sketch is a testament to the artist's keen observation and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life.
