This anonymous 19th-century drawing depicts a detailed design for a carriage. The artist's meticulous attention to detail captures the carriage's elegant form, from the intricate wheels to the elaborate design of the body. The carriage appears to be a "Cabriole," a popular type of carriage during this period, known for its stylish, curved design and open top. The inscription "Cathrein, Mt. Carrossier, Rue Faubourg St. Honore a Paris" indicates the drawing was likely a design for a Parisian carriage maker. This drawing provides a fascinating glimpse into the craftsmanship and design trends of the 19th century, highlighting the intricate artistry involved in creating these iconic vehicles.
