Huifkar 1770 - 1825

"Huifkar" is a watercolor drawing by Austrian artist Simon Andreas Krausz, created between 1770 and 1825. The drawing depicts a covered wagon, known as a "Huifkar" in German, a common mode of transport in Austria at the time. The artist skillfully uses varying shades of gray to represent the details of the carriage. The wagon's wooden frame, canvas top, and wheels are meticulously rendered, providing a glimpse into the everyday life of the 18th century. Krausz's drawing, measuring 136 mm by 177 mm, is a testament to his keen observation and ability to capture the essence of a common object in a simple, yet evocative style.
