Bottler's Wagon

Donald Humphrey

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse-drawn carriage. It features a detailed side view of an antique horse-drawn carriage with large, wooden-spoked wheels and intricate mechanical details. The carriage body is painted in a rich brown with a decorative emblem on the side, depicting an illustration within a circular frame. To the right of the main image, there is a sketched frontal view of the carriage. Below the carriage is a separate drawing of a long pole. The precision and technical style of the drawing suggest it could be a study or design for the construction or restoration of such a vehicle.
