"This picture appeared in the Impressionist group's first joint exhibition, held in Paris at 35 Boulevard des Capucines in 1874. The subject is at once a landscape, a scene from everyday life, and a family portrait. The driver of the carriage is Degas's friend Paul Valpinçon, who sits beside his wife, their wet nurse, and - in the nurse's lap, the couple's infant son, Henri."(From the info card)
