Preliminary Drawing for "A Donkey-Team (Attelage d'ânes)"

Bernard Boutet de Monvel

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a young boy holding the reins of two adorned horses. The horses are shown with detailed features in a line-drawn style. In the background, there are buildings, a bridge over water, and a staircase leading up to a street level with a horse-drawn cart and a driver. The art style features fine pencil-like lines, textured patterns, and a monochromatic color palette of brown and beige, lending a vintage effect.
