About the piece
Painted around 1885 by Edgar Degas, this oil painting captures a group of riders on horseback in a tranquil field. Part of Degas's celebrated equestrian series, the work showcases his mastery of movement and modern life through soft brushwork and a naturalistic, balanced palette that remains timelessly elegant.
