Painted around 1895, Carriage Horse (Cheval de fiacre) is a quintessential Parisian urban study by French master Pierre Bonnard, created during his height as a founder of Les Nabis (The Nabis). Deeply fascinated by the everyday rhythms of city life, Bonnard captures a working horse and carriage navigating the streets of Paris. Featuring flattened perspectives, expressive brushwork, and soft, harmonized color tones, this horizontal composition ($30 \times 40\text{ cm}$) reflects the combined influence of Japanese woodblock prints and early candid snapshot photography.
