This untitled artwork depicts a group of horses pulling a carriage uphill, as seen through the masterful brushstrokes of Honoré Daumier, a celebrated French artist known for his poignant social commentary. The piece showcases Daumier's characteristic style, employing bold outlines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, highlighting the arduous task of the horses and the strength of their forms. While the specific date of the work is unknown, the image captures the grit and realities of everyday life in 19th-century France, a period marked by rapid industrialization and social change. The work, likely from Daumier's later period, further emphasizes the artist's keen observation of the working class and their struggles.
