Country Outing (Partie de campagne) is a 1897 ink by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a bright yellow carriage pulled by two horses on a winding road. Inside, a person sits with a dog on their lap, while another person leans out the window. The background is loose and blurry, with a hint of hills and a pale sky. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light. The colors are flat and bold, not detailed—like a fast, rough drawing. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
