The image shows a group of figures on horseback, escorting the carriage through a landscape with a hilly background. Chodowiecki, a prolific German artist, was known for his detailed and often humorous depictions of everyday life. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
