Group of people in an open cart 1991

Edwin Austin Abbey, a prominent American illustrator and painter of the late 19th century, is known for his detailed and evocative depictions of historical scenes. This 1991 ink drawing, which captures the lively scene of a horse-drawn cart carrying a group of people, showcases Abbey's mastery of capturing movement and expression. The loose lines and washes of ink create a sense of spontaneity and energy, perfectly capturing the fleeting moment as the cart passes through the gate.
