Carriage with Driver and Groom: Autumn is a 1848 ink by Constantin Guys, a Romanticism work, depicting Carriage, held at National Gallery of Art.
A carriage rolls through golden trees, drawn by two white horses. The driver sits straight. A groom walks beside them, both in simple clothes. This is a watercolor from the 1800s. The artist used loose brushstrokes to catch light on the leaves and road. You can almost feel the crisp autumn air. If this style grabs you, try other works by Constantin Guys.
Constantin Guys (born Ernest-Adolphe Guys de Saint-Hélène, December 3, 1802 – December 13, 1892) was a French Crimean War correspondent, water color painter and illustrator for British and French newspapers.
