Although Daumier was obliged to support himself for most of his life by producing satirical lithographs, the critic Baudelaire was an early devotee, observing, 'Daumier draws better, perhaps, than Delacroix, if you would prefer healthy, robust qualities'. This study of 1838–1840 concentrates on heads and shoulders to provide a pedestrian's view of workmen in a crowded street. Formerly in the distinguished collection of Henri Rouart (1833–1912), it was purchased by Gwendoline Davies in 1913.
