About the piece

Painted in 1881, this early work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec showcases the artist's burgeoning impressionistic style and fascination with the energy of modern life. The scene depicts a woman and a gentleman in a carriage traveling along the shore, rendered with lively, confident brushstrokes that capture the sun-drenched atmosphere and movement of the Mediterranean coast.
