About the piece
Painted around 1890, this work by Edgar Degas illustrates the artist's masterful use of line and color to capture the form of racehorses. The composition's soft, earthy palette and rhythmic brushstrokes evoke the movement and anticipation of a quiet moment at the track, characteristic of Degas's late 19th-century style.
