The Coal Wagon

Théodore Géricault

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white drawing of a horse-drawn wagon. The wagon has large wheels and is loaded with firewood. A man sits on top of the load. The wagon is being pulled by four horses. The horses are harnessed together and walking up a rocky incline. The lead horses are dark and light brown and the rear horses are white. The man driving the horses wears a hat and holds reins in both hands. The background shows a cloudy sky and a distant landscape. The title "The Coal Wagon" and the artist "Théodore Géricault" are associated with the image.
