About the piece

Painted around 1860, this early work by Edgar Degas captures a quiet moment of leisure along the French coastline. Two riders on horseback gaze out toward the sea, rendered in a soft, earthy palette of ochre and muted blue that reflects the artist's mastery of light and atmospheric perspective.
