This drawing by Jan Brueghel the Elder, a Flemish artist born in 1568, depicts a one-horse carriage with a driver, possibly a study for a larger composition. The quick, gestural lines and the simple composition suggest that this was a rapid sketch made on the spot. The use of pen and ink lends a immediacy to the piece and captures the motion of the horse and the driver. This drawing, now at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into Brueghel's artistic process.
