Richardson's Show: A Flying Wagon is a 1816 by Thomas Rowlandson, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a large, covered wagon is parked in front of a stone building with a tiled roof. The wagon is labeled "Richardson's Show: A Flying Wagon" and has a sign that reads "General Flying Wagon." A group of people are gathered around the wagon, including a woman in a red dress and a man in a white shirt. There are also several horses and a dog present. The scene is set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky and a body of water, suggesting that the wagon is traveling along a coastal route. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of activity and movement, with the wagon and its occupants appearing to be in the midst of a journey.
