Family in a Surrey

George Bellows

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a sketch of two people from the side, seated on an object resembling a seat. The view is from behind and to the side, highlighting the upper half of their bodies. The person on the left is in a slightly turned position, leaning forward with a visible smile. They have dark hair styled with a parting. The other person is seated to the right, with their back partially visible. They wear a dark hat and a long coat or jacket. The drawing style is sketch-like, with lines and curves suggesting motion, and the background consists of hatching and minimal linework.
