"Dandies in the Park" is a drawing by the French artist Constantin Guys (1802-1892). The work depicts a horse-drawn carriage with three men, elegantly dressed in top hats and frock coats, traversing through a park. Guys, known for his depictions of Parisian life, captures the fashionable and leisurely atmosphere of the time, highlighting the trend of "dandyism" in 19th-century French society. The drawing's loose brushstrokes and hazy background evoke a sense of movement and fleeting moments, characteristic of Guys' style.
