A Wagon, Isaac van Ostade, 1645 - 1649

pen, h 138mm × w 243mm More details

A number of minutely observed studies of carts and wagons by Isaac van Ostade have survived. The artist rendered the smallest details of these often-ramshackle vehicles with a finely pointed pen. Presumably Isaac made these drawings with the intention of one day using them in a larger composition, whether a painting or a drawing.
