This is a painting of a horse-drawn carriage with passengers and a coachman. The painting depicts a classic horse-drawn carriage being pulled by two white horses. The carriage has a dark-colored body with large wheels, and pink curtains are visible through its small windows. It is guided by a coachman who sits at the front, dressed in a red coat and top hat. In the painting, to the right of the carriage, there is a separate depiction of a man and a woman sitting together, both dressed in period attire, with the woman wearing a bonnet and a long dress, and the man in a suit and top hat.
