"L'Encombrement" is a pen-and-ink drawing by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, a renowned French artist known for his depictions of Parisian life. The artwork portrays a bustling city scene, likely in Paris, with a focus on the crowd's congestion and the chaotic interaction of pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and a policeman attempting to maintain order. Steinlen's distinctive style, characterized by strong lines and dramatic shadows, effectively captures the atmosphere of a crowded street, drawing attention to the human element in the midst of urban chaos.
