Take a pit stop in Paris. What catches your eye?

Louis-Léopold Boilly's painting transports us to Napoleonic Paris, where we stand on a shady boulevard outside the Jardin Turc (Turkish Garden Café), a popular establishment that offered its middle-class clientele pleasures formerly reserved for the aristocracy.

Young and old, fashionable and not, Parisians gather here for an afternoon's leisure. Two young street performers entertain the crowd: one shows an elegant couple his tame marmot, while the other puts on a puppet show for children hardly younger than himself.

As a resident of the Marais neighborhood, Boilly included a self-portrait in spectacles and a top hat at the painting's rightmost edge of the canvas.
