urning now to a study of Le Pont de l'Europe (1876), the idea of conscious clothing choice is emphasized through the painting's basic elements. That the man on the right is the "urban stranger", isolated from the pair on the left, is obvious. From the way he slouches to the side of the bridge, looking out through the girders with his head set on one hand, an almost audible sigh can be heard, even though the painting is a simple study. Caillebotte painted this "urban stranger" in a simple sheet of grayish tan and gives a round shape to his hat, clear signals of more masculine dress. The man on the left comparatively has a splotch of white near his throat, a sketch of a propped up collar, and has a shiny black top hat. Also included in the study is the appearance of a very eligible woman strolling along next to the man on the left. Her eligibility is denoted by her colorful expanding dress and umbrella meant to draw the attention of potential suitors. By taking time to paint these careful distinctions of clothing in a mere study of a painting, Caillebotte emphasized their importance and set the stage to draw the correlation between the "urban stranger's" isolation and his masculine dress.
