A Loaded Wagon and Several Human Figures. 1610 - 1664

Stefano della Bella's "A Loaded Wagon and Several Human Figures" is a quick sketch of a heavily laden wagon, most likely used for transporting goods. The composition is simple with the main focus being on the central wagon and the single figure in the left foreground. Bella was known for his drawings, which often depicted scenes of everyday life. This drawing, dated between 1610 and 1664, is a good example of his rapid sketching style and attention to detail. The piece, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies Bella's skill in capturing the movement and energy of his subjects.
