Country Outing (Partie de campagne)

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1897

The image shows a horse-drawn carriage viewed from slightly above and behind. The rear of the carriage is visible, with two figures inside: a man in a light-colored hat and a woman in a red hat. A dog follows the carriage, moving towards the bottom right. The carriage is driven by a horse on a pale pathway, with a high horizon showing a sky with pastel clouds and green fields. The brushstrokes are light and fluid in an impressionist style, with a color palette of soft yellows, greens, and blues.
