About this Artwork
A vehicle belonging to a named man
A trap is a small, light cart, and the title attaches this one to a person: it is Juniet's. That is a different kind of statement from a picture of a carriage in general. The animal here is a household resource, the thing that makes a family's outing possible, and the record files the work under group portraiture as well as Animal Art > Horse.
What the record holds
The date of creation is 1908 and the location is the Musée de l"Orangerie in Paris. The dimensions are 129 x 97 cm. The recorded style term is Naive Art Primitivism, French the recorded nationality, and the measured colour family of the image is blue, which appears on 35 records here. A tree heading accompanies the animal tag.
The driven horse, low down the scale
Between the state portrait and the family trap sits the whole range of what this catalogue means by function. Both are pictures of a person and a horse. The difference is what the animal is doing and whom it belongs to. Nothing in this record says how the vehicle was used or who else rode in it, and this page does not extend it.
