"Gezin keert te paard van de stad terug naar huis" (Family returns home from the city on horseback), created in 1840 by Hippolyte Bellangé, is a lithograph depicting a family of three returning home from the city. The father is riding ahead on horseback, while the mother and a young child ride together behind him. The image suggests a simple life and the importance of family, as well as the daily commute of country folk into the city and back. This work can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
