This painting shows a covered wagon pulled by three horses on a dirt road. Two men walk alongside it—one leading the horses, the other standing near the wagon. A small house sits under a big tree on a hill, and the background fades into soft hills and a distant river. The artist used light watercolors to keep things looking airy, almost like a sketch. The muted greens and browns make the scene feel quiet and peaceful. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
