Isaac van Ostade was a Dutch Golden Age artist known for his drawings and paintings that often depicted scenes of daily life. This pen drawing, titled "A Wagon" and created between 1645 and 1649, shows a detailed and realistic representation of a traditional wagon. The drawing captures the intricate details of the wagon's construction, from the wooden wheels to the sturdy frame, with meticulous lines and shading. The artwork is a testament to Ostade's mastery of drawing and his keen observation of the world around him.

A number of minutely observed studies of carts and wagons by Isaac van Ostade have survived. The artist rendered the smallest details of these often-ramshackle vehicles with a finely pointed pen. Presumably Isaac made these drawings with the intention of one day using them in a larger composition, whether a painting or a drawing.
