Exercising cart 1900

"Exercising Cart" is a colorful illustration by American artist Edward Penfield, created in 1900. The piece depicts a horse-drawn cart, driven by a man in a long coat and top hat. The horse, seen from the side, is harnessed to the bright red cart, its wheels prominently displayed. The composition, with its focus on the details of the cart and harness, evokes a sense of the era's fascination with transportation and leisure. Penfield's illustration style is characterized by its bold lines, bright colors, and attention to detail, making it a visually engaging piece. This work, likely part of Penfield's "Country Carts" series, is a charming example of his ability to capture the spirit of his time.
