An Old Carriage is a 1825 watercolor by Charles Cooper Henderson, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a horse-drawn carriage on a road. A man sits inside, holding the reins, while another man stands beside the horse. A third person walks ahead, leading another horse. The scene looks like a quiet countryside moment, with simple lines and soft shading. The artist used watercolor to keep the drawing light and airy. The focus is on everyday life, not fancy details.
