The Old Stagecoach

The Old Stagecoach is an 1871 painting by American painter Eastman Johnson. Occasionally written as The Old Stage Coach or The Old Stage-Coach, the painting is considered one of Johnson's finest and best known works, second only to his Antebellum masterpiece "Negro Life at the South" (also known as "Old Kentucky Home").
