About this work

Overview

Created around 1950 by Romanian artist Teodor Hrib, this drawing depicts two horse‑drawn carts in a compact composition. The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography, where it is displayed as an example of mid‑twentieth‑century graphic art.

Subject & Meaning

The image shows a pair of single‑horse carts moving in opposite directions. One cart is angled toward the left, the other is rendered in profile facing right, while both horses turn their heads toward the viewer, emphasizing the interaction between animal and vehicle.

Technique & Style

Hrib employs loose, expressive lines with little shading, allowing the forms of the carts and horses to emerge through contour alone. The minimalistic approach creates a sense of motion, guiding the eye along the diagonal arrangement of the two carts.

History & Provenance

The drawing entered the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings after its creation, though specific acquisition details are not recorded. Its presence in the museum underscores the institution’s interest in documenting everyday rural motifs through graphic media.
