Carriage in the Bois de Boulogne

Constantin Guys

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a horse-drawn carriage being pulled by two dark brown horses side by side. The carriage has a covered body and large wheels. A driver wearing a light-colored uniform and hat is standing on the left side of the carriage, holding the reins. Inside the carriage are two people; one person is holding a parasol. The background shows trees and foliage, suggesting a wooded or park-like setting. The overall color palette is muted with shades of brown, gray, and blue. The scene appears to be set in a park called the Bois de Boulogne.
