Figures with cart at roadside 

This drawing by Thomas Gainsborough, a prominent English portrait and landscape painter of the 18th century, depicts a rural scene with a cart pulled by an ox. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and light washes of grey and brown creates a sense of movement and atmosphere in the landscape, capturing the casual nature of daily life in the countryside. The composition is simple yet effective, drawing the viewer's eye to the cart and the figures surrounding it, set against a backdrop of trees and a distant, luminous sky.
