Untitled (Woman Driving Carriage) c. 1884

"Untitled (Woman Driving Carriage)" is an etching created by Austrian artist Ignaz Marcel Gaugengigl in c. 1884. The artwork depicts a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, driving a horse-drawn carriage. The focus of the composition is the woman’s face, which is shown in profile, her eyes gazing towards the viewer. The woman's dress and the carriage are rendered with fine lines, highlighting Gaugengigl's skilled use of this printmaking technique. The etching captures a moment of quiet contemplation in the midst of action, reflecting a popular theme in 19th century art that celebrated leisure activities of the upper class.
