Jean Duplessis-Bertaux (1747–1819), attributed – The Cart – Pen and watercolor drawing

A charming antique drawing depicting a procession of horses and carts in front of a farmhouse. A covered wagon occupies the foreground, accompanied by several horses, while figures and a horse-drawn team are visible in the background against a rural landscape.

The composition, executed in pen and enhanced with watercolor, reflects the late 18th-century taste for scenes of daily life and picturesque depictions.

The work is attributed to Jean Duplessis-Bertaux (1747–1819), a French draftsman, engraver, and painter, known in particular for his genre scenes and depictions of everyday life.

On the reverse, it retains an old presentation label bearing the title “Le Chariot” and the artist’s name.

Presented in an elegant molded wooden frame.
