Carriage with Driver and Groom: Autumn

Constantin Guys

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse-drawn carriage. The image shows a carriage pulled by two horses. The horses are depicted with a loose and flowing style typical of sketch work. The horses stand side by side, with their heads slightly turned. The carriage is illustrated with elegance and minimal detailing. The background of the drawing suggests a street-side setting with faint outlines of buildings. The individuals associated with the carriage are represented in a simplified manner, wearing period-appropriate attire. The overall tonal quality of the drawing is purposefully muted.
