Carriage with Driver and Groom: Spring

Constantin Guys

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a horse-drawn carriage. It depicts two horses hitched to a carriage using watercolor and ink in light blues and earthy tones. The carriage is blue, with a coachman wearing a traditional uniform and a top hat sitting atop it. Another figure, similarly dressed, stands beside the carriage. The horses have noticeable musculature and realistic details. Soft shadows are cast on the ground beneath them, and the background suggests an open, light atmosphere.
