Street Cleaners 1823

"Street Cleaners" is a lithograph by Théodore Géricault created in 1823. The artwork depicts two horses, a cart, and a figure in the process of street cleaning in Paris, a common sight in the early 19th century. This drawing highlights Géricault's interest in capturing everyday life and working-class subjects, exemplified by the realism and detail in the composition. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece, a testament to its significance in the history of French lithography.
