Description

Hooves pounding, mud churning under the wheels, muscles taut, and a force you
feel more than you see. Chełmoński didn’t just paint a scene — he painted motion.
“The Four-in-Hand” is not merely a carriage — it’s rhythm, power, and untamed
energy captured in a single frame. The silver coin bearing this motif perfectly conveys
that vigorous struggle with the element.
