About the piece

Created around 1865, this vibrant oil study by Édouard Manet captures the fleeting excitement of the Longchamp racecourse. With bold, abbreviated brushstrokes and a focus on movement over precise detail, Manet captures the modern spectacle of the turf in a way that remains strikingly fresh and contemporary.
