The Hay Wagon is a 1650 oil by Philips Wouwerman, a Dutch Golden Age work, depicting Horse, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a horse-drawn hay wagon in the foreground. The wagon is loaded with hay, and a man is sitting on top of it, guiding the horses. In the background, there are people working in the fields, and a body of water is visible on the left side of the painting. The artist has used warm colors to create a sense of tranquility, and the brushstrokes are bold and expressive. The painting appears to be from the 17th century, and the style is reminiscent of Dutch Golden Age art.
