1821
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Coal Waggon is a 1821 ink by Théodore Géricault, a Romanticism work, depicting Wagon, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows a heavy wooden wagon on rough ground. A horse stands nearby, tired but steady. The artist used sharp lines to make the wagon look real and heavy. Gericault made many lithographs as quick studies, not just final works. This one feels raw, like he caught the moment fast. The light hits the wagon in a way that makes shadows look sharp. You might like his paintings too. Look up Gericault, Théodore.
