How is social order and identity unified in Caillebotte's Place de l'Europe on a Rainy Day?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. All of the figures wear similar dress in shades of charcoal or black, so no one figure stands out in the heterogeneous crowd.
2. Although everyone is in motion and headed in different directions, the figures are separated with enough space and distance to maintain orderly, unimpeded movement.
3. Only individuals or couples sharing an umbrella populate the scene rather than dense crowds or mixed classes.
