About the piece

Painted in 1881, this early work by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec captures the quiet anticipation of a racecourse with a loose, painterly touch. The composition features figures and horses silhouetted against a glowing, hazy sky and rolling hills. It reflects the artist's developing eye for social scenes and atmospheric light, making it a sophisticated addition to a traditional interior.
