The artwork, titled “Baby in a Carriage,” is a pencil sketch on paper by Vincent van Gogh, created around 1882 in The Hague, Netherlands. This piece falls within the Realism art movement and is categorized under the genre of sketch and study.
In the artwork, a gentle portrayal of a baby resting within a carriage is depicted through minimalistic and precise pencil lines. The baby, partially covered by a blanket, is positioned in a simple wheeled carriage. The drawing exudes a sense of tranquility and captures a moment of quiet repose, indicative of van Gogh’s observational skill and ability to convey emotion through subtle details and tonal variations. The straightforward, unembellished style is reflective of the Realism movement’s focus on depicting ordinary subjects without romanticization.
