"En tohjulet vogn" (A Two-Wheeled Cart), a 1643 etching by Dutch artist Gerrit Claesz. Bleker, depicts a simple scene of rural life. A horse pulls a cart with a woman sitting inside and a man guiding it, suggesting the everyday task of transportation. Bleker's meticulous detail is evident in the rendering of the horse, cart, and figures, highlighting the artist's interest in capturing realistic depictions of everyday life. The work exemplifies the Dutch Baroque period's preference for genre painting, where scenes of daily life were often depicted with a keen eye for detail. This etching is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
