The Mail Guard is a 1818 oil by Jacques-Laurent Agasse, depicting carriage, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a horse-drawn carriage with two men inside. The horse is brown with a white face and white hooves. It wears a harness and pulls a yellow carriage with a green frame. One man wears a red coat and black top hat, while the other has a brown coat and black top hat. They both hold long sticks. The background is dark, but you can see a stone building with an arched doorway. The carriage is on a cobblestone street. Look up Jacques-Laurent Agasse for more paintings.
