Coachmen is a 1848 ink by Constantin Guys, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows four men in old-fashioned clothes, sitting and standing in a room. They're wearing tall hats and fancy outfits. One man is sitting on a red couch, and another is standing next to him. There's a table with a blue cloth on it, and a man is sitting on that. The background is a blue wall. The men seem to be talking to each other. They're all dressed up, so maybe they're going to a special event. The painting is done in watercolor, which makes it look soft and dreamy. If you like this painting, you might want to learn more about the Romanticism movement.
