About the piece

Painted in 1885 by Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, this naturalistic work captures the daily rhythm of Parisian life. The composition focuses on the physical effort of the flour carriers as they maneuver heavy sacks around a large horse-drawn wagon outside a local boulangerie, rendered with a sophisticated eye for light and urban detail.
