The artist here caught the rich variety of people who crossed one of the [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/)'s major bridges. In order to capture specific types, Renoir had his brother Edmond stop passers-by and ask them directions so that they could be sketched. (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)
