"L'attelage" is an etching by the renowned 19th-century French artist Charles Meryon, celebrated for his intricate and atmospheric depictions of Paris. Meryon, who was born in 1821 and died in 1868, is often associated with the etching revival in France and is particularly noted for his ability to capture the architectural and urban essence of the city. His works are characterized by meticulous detail, dramatic contrasts, and a haunting, almost melancholic quality that reflects his troubled life and mental health struggles.

"L'attelage," which translates to "The Team" or "The Carriage," is one of Meryon's lesser-known works but exemplifies his technical prowess and keen eye for urban scenes. The etching depicts a horse-drawn carriage, a common sight in 19th-century Paris, set against a backdrop of the city's streets. Meryon's attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the horses, the carriage, and the surrounding architecture, which together create a vivid snapshot of Parisian life during that era.

The composition of "L'attelage" is marked by its dynamic interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of Meryon's style. The etching captures the movement and energy of the bustling city, while also conveying a sense of stillness and contemplation. This duality is a recurring theme in Meryon's work, reflecting his complex relationship with the city he so meticulously documented.

Meryon's etchings, including "L'attelage," have been highly regarded for their technical excellence and emotional depth. His work has influenced numerous artists and continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the art of etching and its evocative portrayal of 19th-century Paris. Despite his relatively short life and struggles with mental illness, Meryon's legacy endures through his masterful etchings, which remain a testament to his skill and vision.
