This black-and-white sketch shows two men in top hats riding in a horse-drawn carriage. They’re turned away, talking quietly, while the horse walks through a field of tall grass. The background has a hilly, textured look with trees and a cloudy sky. The title hints at a story—maybe these men are arguing or just chatting. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and mood instead of perfect details. If you like this style, check out Impressionism next.
