More about this artwork

Albert Lebourg's "Un Chariot de farinier" (A Miller’s Carriage), roughly dated to 1895, eloquently captures the essence of rural life in late 19th-century France through a masterful chiaroscuro sketch. This striking work features a sturdy carriage, overshadowed by a large, curvaceous cover, likely laden with sacks of flour, indicative of its utilitarian purpose in a miller's daily duties. A pair of strong, white horses, drawn with swift, confident strokes, are tethered to the front of the carriage, embodying the vitality and strength necessary for their labor-intensive role. Beside them, a figure, possibly the miller, appears to guide the horses, his form merging with the shadows rendered in smoky tones, lending a sense of movement and immediacy to the scene.Lebourg's sketch techniques—using charcoal or soft pencil on a textured paper—enhance the dynamic interplay between light and shadow, while the loose, expressive lines invoke a feeling of fleeting moments captured in time. This artwork not only offers a glimpse into the historical context of agricultural practices but also showcases Lebourg’s skill in capturing the simplicity and the vibrancy of everyday rural scenes.
