The Strawberry Roans

Attributed to Constantin Guys

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a horse-drawn carriage. The drawing depicts an elegant carriage being pulled by a team of four horses. The carriage is shown in detail, with large wheels and ornate decorations. Two figures are seated at the front of the carriage, holding the reins. The background features a building with steps leading up to large double doors, flanked by windows. The style of the drawing is characteristic of a period setting, and the line work is detailed, with fluid strokes that capture the movement of the horses and the elaborate structure of the carriage.
