The figures, although to some extent indistinct, contribute to the feeling of movement and life in painting. Renoir captures the crowd with a loose style that gives rise to an open interpretation, where each spectator can imagine stories and emotions behind those silhouettes. This aspect of his works is a remarkable example of how impressionism allows the figures to be less focused and more abstract, reflecting the hustle and bustle of urban daily life.
