Carriage in the Bois de Boulogne

Constantin Guys

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a horse-drawn carriage on a road. The carriage is traveling to the right. It has a covered body with a driver’s seat at the front and a passenger compartment behind. The carriage has large wheels, and a white object, possibly a blanket or parasol, protrudes from the passenger compartment. A man wearing a top hat sits on the driver’s seat. Two brown horses pull the carriage. The background features a dirt road and trees. The image is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the scene. The style appears to be impressionistic.
