The Count de Bournonville in his carriage in front of his residence in Brussels is a 1650 oil by Peter Snayers, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting shows a horse-drawn carriage in the foreground, with a large building and a cityscape in the background. The carriage is black with red accents, and it's being pulled by four white horses. There are people standing around the carriage and in the background. The cityscape includes several buildings with steep roofs and tall spires. The sky is cloudy and gray. In the foreground, there are people on horseback and on foot, some of whom appear to be servants or attendants. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and bustle. The Count de Bournonville is likely the person in the carriage, given the title of the painting.
