The Runaway Carriage is a 1834 ink by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, depicting Carriage, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a carriage rushing down a hill. It's a quick sketch, but you can see the movement and energy. The artist used simple lines to create a sense of speed, which is interesting because it shows how much can be done with just a few strokes. Look up the technique of cross-hatching to learn more about how artists create shading and texture.
Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix ( DEL-ə-krwah, -KRWAH; French: ; 26 April 1798 – 13 August 1863) was a French Romantic artist who was regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school.
