A famous Boilly painting explained

Another pearl from the Fondation Napoleon, in English this time! :

https://www.napoleon.org/en/history-of-the-two-empires/paintings/the-downpour-laverse/

I’ve seen this painting many times, but this comes with comments and context which makes it even more interesting.

I noticed that the plank on which the main subjects are depicted is on wheels, which would logically indicate that it does not span the width of the street. This stands to reason, otherwise the circulation of carts and carriages would be made impossible. In reality, then, people would be wheeled across the street on these planks.

I wonder how many people found themselves thrown from such a plank if one of its wheels struck a large pebble and jerked to a stop.
