Les Précautions (The Precautions), from Le Monument du Costume

A richly attired lady descends a stairway in profile and prepares to enter a sedan chair directly in front of her. A man in the center foreground faces her and reaches out for her hand. A few other elegantly dressed men are gathered around her. In the background the dome of the Church of the Assumption in the Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris can be seen.
