The Market Cart is a 1786 oil on canvas painting by the British artist Thomas Gainsborough. It is one of his final landscapes,[1] painted about 18 months before his death[2] and is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London, to which it was presented by the British Institution's governors in 1830.

Description

The painting depicts a horse-drawn cart, with two girls sat aboard, travelling along a woodland path. It was first exhibited at Gainsborough's own home in Pall Mall in 1786. He would later add a figure of a woodman gathering bundles of wood in 1787. William Dutt, in a book published in 1901, claimed that this painting depicted Gainsborough Lane, which later gave its name to part of the South East Area, Ipswich.[3]
