Les Déménagements 1840

Louis Léopold Boilly's 1840 painting *Les Déménagements* captures the bustling scene of a Parisian street during a move. The painting is a depiction of everyday life, highlighting the laborers, families, and animals involved in the process of moving household goods. The detailed portrayal of the city's architecture, including the iconic domed building in the background, adds to the realistic and immersive quality of the work. Boilly's keen observation of the social interactions and the vibrant energy of the street make *Les Déménagements* a quintessential example of his genre painting style, often focused on the lives of ordinary people.
